Well tax refund time only comes but once a year-kinda like christmas for kids, it's time for a new scope. I have been eyeballing the Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 w/side focus and mildot reticle, and the Leupold MK4 LR/T 6.5-20 w/M1 target turrets and mildot reticle. I guess the question is for the extra $180 the Leupold costs are you just buying customer service, or is there a real tangible difference between the two? I know many consider the Conquest not to be a "real" Zeiss since it's put together in the US. The difference in tube size doesn't matter since I'll probably never take a shot at anyhting over 500 yds. I just want a nice target/varmit scope to put on top of my Rem700 5r. I know I probably could get something just as good, or close to it, for less money than these two choices, but when it comes down to it and laying out close to 1k, these two are really the only two options for me based on reputation,and quality. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advace.
