[QUOTE="Nate Haler, post: 16953, member: 315"] Having just ordered the Zeiss Conquest you mention, I will be able to do so (presuming prompt shipment) in a week or so. Here's what I've learned so far: Leupold LR 6.5-20x50 Conquest 6.5-20x50 -------------------- ------------------- weight: 20 ounces 21 ounces maintube: 30mm one inch elevation: 72 moa 45 moa side focus side focus The Zeiss apparently features a BDC (bullet drop compensator) but what that comprises I won't know until I receive it. The Zeiss can be had for $620 from Highland Gear in Quincy, IL. The street price of the Leupold in question is typically $750.00. I've ordered the Zeiss in the mil-dot reticle, so despite having less internal adjustment (as you'd expect in a 1" tube), I'm planning on using the mil-dot holdover technique (and perhaps a tapered base) to ensure I can hit targets to 1,000y. I'm quite familiar w/Leupold optics (VX3 and Mark 4 series anyway), so it will be interesting to compare the Zeiss in this regard. Cheers! [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
