[QUOTE="LabRat, post: 1060685, member: 48258"] Jungleboogey, when I first mounted the scope, I didn't use a 20moa rail. I tried to shoot 600 yards with the .308 but couldn't so I had to go back with a 20moa rail. Each time, everything was torqued properly and fit well. I was very happy with the glass as well as everything else. Then suddenly, one day over a year later, I couldn't bring the target into focus even going through the entire range on both the diopter and parallax much as Laelkhunter described. So I removed the scope and sent it in. Zeiss didn't say what they found but replaced the scope entirely. Remounted the new scope properly torquing everything and I'm happy again. Until over a year later when it all happens again. This was the 1" tube 6.5-20 Conquest and I don't believe there was anything unusual or special about it. Zeiss is again replacing the scope but since they no longer manufacture the Conquest 6.5-20, they are moving me up to the HD5 5-25. I have since replaced the scope on that rifle with a Vortex HD GenII 4.5-27. Which is an awesome scope. :) [/QUOTE]
