[QUOTE="A/C Guy, post: 510711, member: 13490"] The 1" Zeiss aren't in the same class as the Swarovski scopes when it comes to the glass. Zeiss uses more and better coatings on the glass in their 30mm tubes than on the glass in their 1" tubes. I have owned several Swarovski scopes and I have 1 Zeiss Diavari 6-24x56 with the Rapid Z 1000 reticle on my Lapua. (I got a smoking deal on the 6-24, otherwise, I would have bought the S&B.) The Zeiss glass is nice, but the Swarovski scopes perform better in low light. The Conquest scopes are brighter as mentioned because they have less coatings. The Conquest scopes do not perform as well in low light due to the lack of coatings. I also notice there is more glare in Zeiss scopes. Once you own Swarovski scopes for a while, your eyes become more discriminating, and you see more details and flaws in lesser scopes. High end glass becomes an addiction, beware. [/QUOTE]
