Zeiss Conquest V6 3-18 x 50 Feedback

[Mark37082]

Shinbone - I really like the aluminum foil scope covers. . Definitely cheaper than the Zeiss flip up scope caps. I am starting to like the V6 3-18x50 more every time I use it. The only thing I wish it had is a illuminated center dot. Those dots come in handy for fairly close range quick target acquisition in fading light.

lol! Somehow, I ended up with more scopes than covers. Not sure how that happened. The dog probably ate them? I haven't had much luck with after-market scope covers. At least the aluminum foil is quick and easy, and provides excellent protection while sitting in the gun vault.

I've had many things chewed up by my dogs over the years. I will say the Zeiss flip up objective scope cap worked really well on the V6.

 

[shinbone]

Roger that. I'll check into them. Thanks.

I shot this doe last night at 3 minutes till legal light ended at 230 yards. The V6 reticle and glass is sharp and bright. No need for illumination.

@General RE LEE and @shinbone
Are spot on with there reviews of the v6 3-18 #94 moa reticle. (shinebone, I do know a well known custom rifle builder that wouldn't sell a scope with his builds until it passed his using it as a hammer test and it passed, that's how I first learned of the scope).
I now own 3 of them and have or have had Leopold, Schmitt & Bender, Nightforce, March, Maven and for my use which is hunting and target practice out to 1200 yds. I haven't found anything better for my use and eye's. So come spring I'm selling a couple more scopes and buying 2 more Zeiss v6's

Great comments. I to am only interested in a scope for deer and elk hunting out west. Which reticle do you have or suggest works best for the Zeiss V6 for western hunting?

Does anyone have an NX8 they've compared to a Zeiss V6? Price is comparable on the two from what I've seen. I have an NX8 on my 280 AI that's been great. Having a hard time deciding if I should try a V6.

Which NX8? The NX8 in 4-32, which I like a tad better because of the finer line reticle.

Yes. Sorry it is the 4-32 in SFP MOA.

Yes. Sorry it is the 4-32 in SFP MOA.

I like my Zeiss for its clarity, but the reticle could be a bit thinner for me anyway. I am still killing stuff with it though.

I have a V6 3x18 Zeiss on a 300 WM and I like it a lot. Clear, lightweight, tracks really well out to a 1000 yards, as far as I have taken it at the local range. I was elk hunting in 2020 in Colorado and two hunters had the HD 5 Leopolds and in low light the Zeiss was a little brighter and clearer. I also have the V4 4x16. It works equally as well for me. Red Hawk rifles sometimes have the demo models at reduced pricing.

It was all about weight for me when comparing the NF and Zeiss. If NF offered a comparable scope to the V6 3-18x50 at or under 25 ozs, I probably would buy one. I was really close to buying a March F, but decided to buy a fishing Kayak with the $1k savings from the V6 purchase. Very happy so far.
