Does anyone here have this scope. I am curious what people think of it. I have a full custom 700 7mmSTW that I would like to put it on.

Have the 44mm on a 300 win mag and it is a great scope.  The 50mm is probably a little brighter - which, if my 44mm is any indication, means you could almost hunt in pitch black.

 

 

Well worth the money.  I highly recommend them.  And if it doesn't ahve target turrets, for $50, Zeiss will add to existing scope.  With a arget turret, a BDC is only a web order or phone call away, and I do love my BDC!

I humbly concur with my colleagues...Conquest is good to go.

Which reticle is of interest to you?

(With #4 reticle.)

 

I'd probably go with the 44mm objective, like Rancid has.

I got a good deal on it from a friend. Slightly used no ring marks. $500

I personally would have got the 44mm OBJ if I could have picked.

I have one conquest already a 3-9X40 and really like it. Was just curious about this model. It does have the Target Turrets, Are they removabe for hunting? It looks to me like it could get bumped easily.

No, they are not removable; no, they do not easily get bumped off tracjk.

 

And, much as some might be tired of me mentioning it, Kenton Industries will send you a bullet drop compensator - unscrew the elevation turret, install the BDC drum - that is specific to your cartridge, projectile, velocity, altitude, mean air temp, and even brand of ammo used.  They are dead on and worth the money.l
