OK,next move is to scope my new Sako. I am leaning toward a Zeiss Conquest or Minox variable power. Any thoughts?

This one is a steal right now;

..............and if you look around, you can get it for even less !

I can attest to how good the conquest is. The minox, I havent ever used.

Conquests are good and have a good track record. Minox seem good, but have shorter market exposure. What is your selection criteria? Maybe there are other choices to consider.

Criteria isn't anything special. Just the perfect hunting scope with best light gathering ability and clearest image in a 2-10 or 4-12 with a 42-44 objective. Being able to see through trees would be a bonus!

I'd definitely look at the Sightron Big Sky line-up (in addition to the Conquests).

i know the leupold vx3 cost a little more than the conquest but i would check them out.

ended up with a conquest,could never find a minox

..............and what do you think ?


Compare to all others you've used ?


I think you made a good choice for the money !

If you decide on a Minox let me know. I have a brand new one that has never been out of the box. It is a 3X15X50 with side focus and a BDC reticle. $400+shipping. Not a demo or sample. I have it listed for sale on another forum. PM me if you are interested. Tom.
