Leupold Vari-X III or Ziess Conquest???
 

I've always been a Leupold guy, but I'm hearing some awsome opinions on the Zeiss Conquest line of scopes.

I'm wondering which one would gather in more light at dawn and dusk. Always been very pleased with my Leupold Vari-X III's, but I'm hearing folks say that the Conquest line of scopes is even brighter....and less expensive

Opinions please

This one is easy in my book....ZEISS

Another vote for the Conquest. I use to be a leupold supporter and still hold the Varix III in high regard for performance and reliability. However I am not at all happy with the VX IIIline of scopes. I was very unpleased the VXIII was going to a multi-piece design from theVari X III's1 piece tube and this prompted me to start to consider the competition in its class. Optically the zeiss to my eye beats out the VXIII in all categories. I also prefer the etched reticle, zeiss reticles, constant eye relief. I currently have 4 conquests (2 - 3.5x10x44 and 2 - 3x9x40's). Nothing but good to say about the conquests.:)

Zeiss-no question about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zeiss will be brighter in low light and also has an etched reticle that will stand out in low light.

I have always owned Leupold also untill I tryed Zeiss,that's the only scope I'll buy from now on! I have 2,a 3-9-50mm and a 4.5-14-44mm,excelent scopes...

Always had Leupolds but tried a Conquest. A bit better and clearer in low light but not by much and not worth the price difference. Burris Black Diamond blows them away on brightness and clarity at all power. Less money than the Conquest too.

The Zeiss Conquest is clearer and gathers more light.I have a Zeiss Conquest on a 30/06 that I never use and a VXIII on a .270 that I use all the time and I will be swapping them.
