[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 737228, member: 1390"] I have three Conquests, and have had very good results with them. Image quality is noticeably better to me than my previous Leupolds. In fairness though, my last Leupolds were Vari-X IIIs and an FX-III, not the newer ones. What I really like better in the Conquest than other scopes I have tried are the very crisp reticles. I believe they are etched as opposed to the Leupolds I have used being wire reticles. The conquest reticles have been very black and crisp for me in all conditions, whereas the Leupold wire reticles, can pick up a copper colored hue in some lighting conditions. I also like Zeiss' target turrets. They are relatively low profile, positive, audible and repeatable. If your scope doesn't come with them, Zeiss will install them for $80 each. While I haven't used any of the really high dollar optics like Nightforce or S&B, I have not found my conquests w/ target turrets lacking in any shooting I have done with them which includes ranges out to 800 yards. Here's a pic of my 3.5-10 w/ the target turrets. [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n159/Hondo64d/P6280207.jpg[/IMG] My latest is a 3-9 that I had Zeiss put their #4 reticle and target turrets on. What a great hunting scope!
