[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 112381, member: 8947"] Some scopes simply aren't designed for neg G's and will fail when put on Air Rifles or braked rifles. Pity manf do not put that plainly in their product descriptions. Was at a 1000m fun shoot last weekend and a gent there had a very nice Zeiss Conquest scope on his hunting class rifle. Big dollars but the scope would not track. Move the adjustment, take a shot, nothing happened, adjust more, shoot and have a huge change. This is the sort of sticking you would expect from a $100 mystery brand special not a top end big dollar Euro scope. Is this common with all Zeiss products? Doubt it but it sure soured my opinion of trying (financial risk vs reward way too high). By comparison, there were lots of Elite 3200 10X scopes working happily along never missing a click for 1/5 the price. This same guy owned a 16X IOR scope and was thrilled with its performance. Was on a Panda 6.5-284. Love that reticle too. Jerry [/QUOTE]
