[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 672624, member: 19778"] Some of those Ziess scopes are not top level, 3-9x40 are only $400-500, but I've looked through them and they still look better than the Leupold's and Nikon 3-9x40's The $1100 Zeiss 6-24x50 and 3-12x56 (both 30mm tubes) are to have high end glass but assembled in America to save cost, I'm not sure if they are put together as well as the German optics industry would, but I would like to compare a 6-24x50mm to a 5.5-22x56 nightforce. Of course out to 1000 yards, the Zeiss 20 moa adjustment limitation would limit range, but they do sell 20 moa bases that would help. a Zeiss 56mm would of course surpass a Nightforce with a 56mm in clarity and low light conditions. The 56mm on the Nightforce would seem to be better than the 50mm with the Zeis as bigger objective. But I have heard the coating are so good on the German glass that in reviews a 40mm Zeiss was better than a 50mm scope they had on a particular gun for low light conditions. Would than the American assembled Zeiss 6-24x50 for $1100 with 20moa bases be better than the top end Nightforce for $1800 ? not to say the optics on the Nightforce are low end, and the tracking is 2nd to none. I've not heard any complaints on Zeiss tracking, but reviews are limited to a few dozen, where Nightforce reviews are in the 1000's. I always look over negative reviews. Not sure the mid range price $1100 Zeiss would have the optics the Zeiss Diavari or Hensoldt would at $2500-$3700. But this is something to consider when looking for a scope between $1000 and $2000 depending on if your a target shooter or hunter. [/QUOTE]
