Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Zeiss Conquest DL vs. Leupold VX6 vs. Swarovski Z3 vs. Kahles Helia C

No worries, it took me half my life to figure out what 1/4 MOA adjustments were supposed to do at 50 yards

it surprised me, up to the day I swapped it to its 3 or 4th home and re-adjusted it had been working fine, maybe if you leave them on a single rifle and don't adjust them a lot. I cannot imagine I adjusted it more than a total of +/- 10 MOA, it was all different AR-15 rifles.

The Z3 is by far the weakest in the lineup you mention.

I'll say this about the Conquest DL 3-12x50: It should have been re-named. While I use and like the Conquest lineup, retaining part of that namesake at its price point is not going to help sales. This scope is THAT good. In fact, I am selling off my last Diavari Victory because of it.

The resolution of the Victory still has a slight (though nearly indiscernible) edge, but the contrast and vibrant color rendition of the Conquest DL -- important things to me in low light and on dark targets -- must be seen to be appreciated.

I like the illumination knob on the HT pretty simple.

I have a VX6 2-12 on my 35 Newton, it seems to have poor adjustments as well. Still want to try it one more time before I send it off, but I think the Newton might have loosened it up some. Glass and eye relief are all I could ask for, but holding zero and adjusting decently worry me a little.
