I'm another very satisfied owner of Zeiss Conquest scopes.Onein particular isa 3-9x40 that I purchased when they first came out,about 5 years ago.It sits on my .300 Weatherby Sako and has been hunted with and tossed around pretty hard.I've probably put a good 750 rounds or so (I've lost track)through that rifle since I mounted the Conquest on it andthe scopehasn't given me any problems whatsoever.

Another thing I'd like to say aboutZeissis that their service is excellent. I had a 4.5-14x44 that got damaged when I accidentally let my rifle fall to the pavement while I was at a local shooting range. The scope got bunged up pretty good, so I sent it to Zeiss's service facility hoping they'd be able to repair it. I expected to receive a letter, phone call or e-mail from them telling me what needed to be done and how much it would cost. Instead, exactly one week from the day I sent the scope out, a brand new replacement scope was delivered to my house and I wasn't charged a dime (except for the $5 or $6 it cost me to ship it to them).

So, based on my experience with the Conquests and the way the company treated me, I look to Zeiss first when considering a new scope purchase.
