RE: Zeiss vs Swarovski and Kahles
any $300 scope is as good as a $1200 scope for normal hunting condition..you're definitely buying a name if you pay more than $500...the lens polishing is the main objective, imo...i've got more simmons scopes than any other brand, and have never had one fail me...i don't need a more expensive scope to hunt the way i hunt, and i've never had a problem taking a deer..
