where are you getting your prices for the Zeiss Conquest? I'm not against Zeiss or any other euro, they just don't usually have what I'm looking for in power. Where is their 6-20 or 6-24x. Zeiss doesn't have one that I see. So its the higher end euro's which are 100's more than the Leupold I'm happy with so WHY? should I spend the extra cash.
I see your a student from your profile, some advice, I hope its Law the way you like to argue!
According to Chris @ SWFA.com, Zeiss will offer a 6-20 or 24x in the Conquest line. Zeiss Norway said they wont release more info/data on the scope untill after IWA 2002 next week.
www.swfa.com and www.bearbasin.com has great prices for scopes. At Bearbasin the Conquest costs $400-700 depending on model and reticle.
Scandinavian magazines occasionally tests scopes, and the Carl Zeiss is ALWAYS the winner. At first it was the then-german manufactured Z-series and now the Victory. The Conquest series hasn't been tested yet in any magazine here yet as far as I know. The Victory series costs from $1100 at Bearbasin, and as such is more expensive than the Leupold. You just have to decide for yourself if its worth it.... I'll be getting a new scope for my HS HTR soon, and I'm considering the European or perhaps a USO scope for it.....
