Up till now the most expensive scope I own is a Leupold 2.5x8 VX3 or a Zeiss 3x9 Conquest. Between the two there is no doubt the Zeiss has better glass and the focusing is better and more precise. I plan to open up my wallet a little and start buying better glass for 3 Weatherby Mark V's I recently purchased. First rifle to be gifted better glass will be the Backcountry model in 300 Weatherby.
My choices have been narrowed to:
Zeiss V4 4x16x44 with illuminated #60 reticle or:
Leupold VX5HD 3x15x44 with Firedot.
Price difference is not significant so not important. OK with the weight of each of these as the rifle is light to start with (6 pounds). I'm not going to play with the turrents after the rifle is sighted in so exact repeatability is not my first concern.
Durability and low light performance are most likely the most important features for me.
Which model would you choose and why?
Thank you
