[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 913368, member: 10429"] I have both the Zeiss and the Vortex...Both scopes have there advantage and disadvantages...No zero stop on the conquest and if you are going to put an aftermarket turret on the elevation you have to get it sent to some shop or back to zeiss to get this changed out unless the newer one have all went to the upgraded turret. With that said the glass in the conquest is clearer hands down than the vortex. I am a firm believer of that. Also you cannot tell this in a store. Its when you are looking at 600 to 700 yards away. If I put both scopes side by side and place the vortex on 14 power and compare the two the image is crisper on the zeiss. The conquest is repeatable up and down the elevation so that good also. I have had my turret changed out and its nice to just dial and shoot. But what I like the best is the glass for a 14 power scope..
