Default Zeiss/ swarovski question??

I've been looking at the Zeiss conquest or Swarovski 50mm scopes and see that the field of view is 21.9-9.9 on the Swarovski and 35.1-11.6 on the Zeiss, which is better? Don't understand some of the terminology such as Parallax, eye relief and exit pupil. What does all this mean? All that aside, i'm looking for which scope will be the best at the last few minutes of legal shooting time.

I'm too lazy this morning to go into detail about the questions you have asked. So, go to the following site and you'll probably find the answers:

Okay, apparently that link doesn't take you where I wanted you to go. When you go there, click on "Riflescopes". Then you'll see a link called "Riflescope School". Click on that and you'll be taken to a page where you can probably get the answers you want.

BTW, I'm a big Zeiss Conquest fan. I don't think you can do much better, especially for the money involved.

I agree to that!

You know parrallax was somthing i always struggled with in college. I guess understanding how to calculate distances between the objective and errector lenses or build a scope at a particular parrallax distance. Of course our college crude optics they had made it tough.

But basically when you look at an object at 400 yards say thru your crosshairs, and you move you head around (eye), you want the crosshairs to be locked on your target not dance. Now with a AO set to 500 yards, you will see this movement up close at say 25 yards.

I was comparing the Swarovski 4-12x50 American riflescope to the 3.5-10x50 Zeiss Conquest. Thanks
