[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 673117, member: 19778"] I'm not sure, but a lot of people who buy the Nightforce claim it has the bet glass or clarity on earth, but what do they compare it to, a Leupold at best . Leupold's are great great scopes with a great warranty, but the optics on them, although better than most, are not as good as the German glass. I wonder how good the Zeiss 3-12x56mm (30mm tube Conquest) is for $999.00. I am looking at it and the 6-24-50mm.($1000) most of my hunting is crow up to 300 yards or coyotes up to 400-500 yards, so I think the 12 power might be enough, the 30mm tube and 56mm bell should be superb in low light, my bad eye's may like it, I wonder though if the 56mm vs the 50mm and 30mm vs 25mm (1 inch) tube is going to make much low light performance difference , as I would like to have 24 power option. for targets and such. Righjt now my eye is set on the 3-12x56mm 30mm tube for $999. at 12x power my 4-12x40mm Nikon buckmaster on a crow at 300 yards is still enough, same for my Leupold 6-20x50mm AO VXIII at 12 power, crosshair is smaller than crow at 300 , and low light hunting for coyotes, is there a better scope on earth for under $2000?
