To trailer: That would be a nice feature for the Conquest. I did not know that, thanks. Do you know if any of the Conquest's now have the crosshairs like the Ballistic Plex in the Burris? I was reading some where about it. The Zeiss web site is a bit of a scrabble. With that reticle, the scope you are recommending would be a dandy. Tom.
Mil Dot....we base our rifles off of MOA
Why not utilize the same system in our reticles?

From what I can tell, it doesn’t look like it but they do offer the 58 ZRF reticle and I’m not sure what that’s all about. Like you say it isn’t really clear. However they do offer the Mil-Dot as previously mentioned...

IMO the best value is a Leopold Vari-x II. They can be had for under $300.
What is the real difference between the Leupold II"s and III's

2. Can be set up with more elevation and windage adjustment. Notice I say can be, because some are not.
3. Will allow more light transmission through the scope. You have to have the quality of lenses and coatings to take advantage of the larger tube size.
3 is the same as 2. Ifa maker gives you lots of adjustment, it is because the internals are 1" size or similar. If it has little adjustment, it is bigger to allow more light through.

Trailer- thanks for your help whats better a 30MM tube or a 1" tube? I still don't know which is better.
1" is OK, but obviously, since they introduced the 30mm as an UPGRADE, 30mm is BETTER than 1". It also costs more!

Not necessarily. I had 2 Leupold scopes, one being the VX-II 3-9 x 50 mm with the 1” tube that I sold and the other is my Euro 3-9 x 50 mm with the 30 mm tube that I still have and to be honest couldn’t see any difference between the two...

The Vari-X III's have the indexed lense system. For normal hunting purposes, a Vari-X II is plenty good enough.

I do not believe the amount of light that lenses and tube size allows through, has anything to do with the amount of adjustment that is available. Different lenses allow different amounts of light through. Same as the coatings. One of the reasons Leupold calls their 30mm LR(Long Range)is due to the fact that is has more elevation adjustment than a standard 1 inch scope. But this adjustment has nothing to do with the quality of lenses, and amount of light transmission. IMO, Tom.
