Now that said, I personally cannot see enough difference in a 400 dollar Zeiss Conquest and a 1000 dollar Zeiss Diavari to warrantspending an extra 600 dollars on one. I'd like to hear from the people who own one, what one of those 1000 to 1200 dollars scopes will do that a 400 dollar Zeiss Conquest won't do.
Given the topic, I am embarrassed to admit what scopes are currently on my guns. I mainly use Conquests, but I do own a couple ofDiavaris. There is definitely a difference in the quality of Conquests vs. Diavaris, but is it worth the price difference? Probably NOT.
I have been fortunate and acquired some "high end" firearms at reasonable prices, so I have invested in some "high end" optics to match the quality of the gun. I work in the agriculture industry and raise cattle, so I am far from being "wealthy". For me, it is where you put your priorities. I raise registered Brangus cattle and spend more than I should on guns and scopes, but I have friends that live in $250,000 houses and shoot worn out pieces of junk guns. It is allin where you put yourpriorities. Sorry if I digressed.
