[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 914019, member: 10429"] Here is another head to head comparsion today. I was out shooting my sendero which has the vortex 4-16 tring to do a load test at 400yrds. The sky was cloudy, about 3 inches of snow on the ground and everywhere appears to have that somewhat of the faint grey look. No clear sun to really bring out the color. Not sure why but it seemed to make it hard to focus or really have a ultra crisp image that I was looking for at the 16 power. I worked the side focus and the end focus and still just seem to be ok. After shooting my sendero I picked up my 6.5 with the zeiss and at 14 power had a nice crisp image. Let a few fly at the target for fun and after a couple more minutes I started getting a light snow in my face so it was time to leave. Not to mention I had already been setting in the cold for about and hour without gloves. :rolleyes: If I had to do it all over again I think I would have waited longer, save some more bucks up and bought another zeiss. I would say the vortex still has some good features but I'm starting to see what the difference is between a 850 dollar scope and a 500 dollar scope. I don't know if the conquest is cheaper now but when it came out the model I have ran 850.00... [/QUOTE]
