Does anyone have any experience with the Zeiss Conquest 3-9-40 scopes how do they compare to the Leupold vx-2 scopes I just ordered a new rifle and need some glass for it any help would be appreciated thanks chad

I just mounted a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40mm today on my son's new Blaser. If I were to compare a Zeiss Conquest to a Leupold, it would be a Vari X III, and I would take the Zeiss over the Leupold any day. I own both, and for the money, it is Zeiss all the way.

The conquests have fully multi coated optics Vis the VX-2's either multi or fully coated. Zeiss is renowned for having durable scopes and they hold true to magnification. Not knocking Leupold at all but if you compare it the VX-2 there not really a comparison. Not a bad choice man.

For $399, the 3-9x40 Conquest is REALLY hard to beat. I don't think a Leupold for $499 could even compare.

I just made the same decision recently. I checked out a Conquest & a VXIII side-by-side, & the Conquest was clearly better. Plus, it was $399 vs. $469 for the Leupold.

If you want to pain yourself with the tortuous, gory, and boring details, read all about it here: http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1973496

No contest: Zeiss Conquest.

www.samplelist.com has them for 349$ fora refurbed.

The Conquest also has the reticles etched on the glass so there are no wires inside to ever break or come loose. I chose the Zeiss 2 years ago and still love it.

You can get a brand new Conquest 3-9 for $375-400 if you shop around.
