I thought I had made my final decision, but alas. . .one more ? for all the experts out there. My Rifle: Rem 700 in .270 My Use: NC Deer hunting--low light out to 300yds at times but rare
Two options: Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 1" Plex Kahles American Hunter 3-9x44 1" Plex
Looks on the rifle is a very minor concern. If the price is say within 20 bucks (so no real difference) which would you choose? I believe either would be a great choice, but I need some help tipping the scales in one direction or the other. Thanks! Hugo |

I say Conquest because I was so fond of mine. Honestly, either one would be very serviceable for you.
No wrong choice. |

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

Check out www.SampleList.com
You can get a demo 3-10X42 Swarovski, which would make even a better choice. |

I've thought about a Swaro. . .but offering only a 15 year warranty when it seems the industry standard is lifetime turns me off on principle. Even my crummy Simmons was replaced for postage-n-handling without questions. And the Kahles I've spotted is on the SampleList ;-)

NC-
I agree with you 100% on the warranty issue. Simmons will even have the scope returned to you in 3-4 days of receipt.
just my 2cents. |
