| CONQUEST 3-9x40 MC |
|
|
|
|
The traditional all-purpose riflescope
for American hunting conditions with 3x to 9x power and eye relief of 4
inches. Due to its compact design - 13.15 inches long and 15 oz. - this
scope is also popular with mountain hunters in Europe. It provides wide
fields of view - 34 feet at 100 yards and 3x, and 11 feet at 100 yards
and 9x - for an optimum overview. Thanks to an objective lens diameter
of 40 mm, the image provided is still bright and brilliant even in poor
light.

Want to hear a good one? My mail just arrived with a Zeiss printed catalog and it states for the Conquest 3-9X40, 15oz and some change, go figure! _popupControl();

im guessing that they had to weigh it twice under two different circumstances, had to be without the scope covers and turret caps or something.

I weighed em' once, the 3x9 was 15.1oz and the 3.5x10 was 15.8oz. The 3.5x10 has a lot bigger objective (44) but is a fair amount shorter. Just my 2oz....I mean cents :>)

I've got a 3-9x40 Conquest mounted on an 8400 Montana in 30-06 using Talley Lightweights. It balances very well on the long action and can be easily adjusted to provide a comfortable position for eye relief. I also struggled with the weight issue and ultimately decided the 1.5 ounce discrepancy was not worth worrying about.

Good point on the weight pell1203, are the LW Talley's holding up OK? _popupControl();

SamC, so far the Talley's are holding up just fine. However, you should temper this endorsement with the fact that I've only put 150 rounds through the rifle.
On a side note, I love the 4A reticle on my Conquest. First time I've used it in a real hunting situation and was dully impressed with how quickly I was able to get on target for both initial and follow-on shots. I strongly encourage others to consider it for a hunting gun.

Thanks for feedback on the Talley LW's, pell1203.
I've used Talleys, (excellent product line) but never the LW's. Looks like a great mount for light weight rifle set ups!!

I'm looking real hard at the talleys for my light carry rifle build. Not trying to hi jack the thread....but the weight question appears to be answered. Anybody know how heavy the talley lightweights are?

Focus,
I just weighed a set of reversible front steel Talley bases, along with a set of low steel screwlock rings. They weighed 6 ozs., including all of the mounting screws.
A set of lightweight Talley low rings/bases, again with the extended front ring, including all mounting screws weighed 3 ozs. Also, I mounted both sets on the rifle, and measured the height. IIRC, the lightweights are VERY slightly lower......something like .020". But, that could vary on different rifles.
I've put some lightweight Talleys through the wringer on a couple of hunting rifles, and didn't have any problems on hunting size scopes. Their clamping power amazed me.
I also happened to have an unmounted 3-9x40 Conquest. It weighs 15 oz. without the lens covers, 1 lb with the lens covers.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Thanks Wally the weight for the talleys is very interesting. Sounds like they are worth the switch for me over steel warne maxima bases and steel burris signiture zee rings for sure.
