I currently have an older Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40. I was looking at the 4x12x40 to give me a little extra magnification. I really like the conquest and know it’s a well built scope, firstly I was wondering how much I would be able to see the conquest for? Secondly, how much of a difference in quality, light transmission, clarity etc do you think there is?
thanks.
I would never consider selling Zeiss glass to get a Vortex.
Also ask yourself how often you shoot on high power?
I would stick with zeiss! Their 4.5x14 would be a good choice. The terra line should be avoided though. Your current 3x9 is worth about $4-500.
Keep the Zeiss!!
Zeiss is pretty darn good, as long as it works I'd keep it. With that said, I'm a Vortex fan...I have a Viper 3-9x40 on a .22 and I have a Viper HS 2.5-10x44 on my hunting rifle, pretty good scopes for the money, clarity is really good, light transmission is also pretty good...I've used it in low light conditions, mornings, and it works very well.
Zeiss scopes are top notch in all categories. The older conquests are very good and tough, the HD 5 line is amazing, and the new V4 line is very well priced for what you get.
I am a fan of vortex (I find it is good glass for cost) but I'd probably keep the Zeiss. I'd probably (in normal times at least) check out the Vortex in the store. It will probably be fine, but I doubt a major improvement.Quote:
