RE: Zeiss rifle scopes
Usually the top three are Zeiss, Schmitt & Bender and Swarovski and it is usually a personal opinion as to which is the absolute top of the line. I have a Zeiss Diavari 3x12x56 that I absolutely love. The Bushnell Elite 4200 3x9x40is very close to the quality of the Conquest 3x9x40and it is about $125 less in price.

Ditto to what jack just said.I do have a leupold on my shotgun.Its a nice scope but doesnt even compare to my Zeiss on my rifle.Everyone has a certain preference and im sure youll get different opinions from different people.

I currently own a Swarovski, several Leupolds, and several Zeiss'. My current favorite two scopes are Zeiss Conquests 3-9 and 4.5-14, but the quality between the three brands is very close.

RE: Zeiss rifle scopes
just bought a 3x9 conquest and its great, love the CONSTANT eye releif at all powers. I accually came in to buy a 3X9 leupy VX II for my muzzleloader. 2seconds after lookin thru the Zeiss, i bought it. even after looking thru the VX III clarity was NO CONTEST.

As far as lower end scopes, the Zeiss Conquests are excellent as well as the Nikon Monarch Golds! I have friends that have these scopes. They cost around the same amount as a Leupold Vari-X III, but are way better optically. I will never buy a Leupold again.
