I'm ready to order the Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40 for my new Mauser rifle; at under $400 it seems to be a heckuva deal.
But what the hell is a "Dioptre adjustment range"? I've searched through this forum and found the term "dioptre" (or diopter) used many times, but I never found anything resembling a definition or explanation of what the term means. (or what the control actually does...)
Can anyone provide me with a clue? |

It helps to "tailor" the scope to your eye. You adjust it for best focus. |

The diopter allows the shooter to focus his reticle on the Conquest. That's the short answer.
The Conquest has a Euro or fast focus eye piece. It works quite well, I might add.
Did I answer your question?? |

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

A fast focus eyepiece is fast becoming a industry standard, as Cheaptrick has stated it works very well. In this post a shooter has asked what is the best way to focus the reticle with a fast focus eyepiece.
