Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold 1.75 x 6 & similar Conquest

I was thinking I might try to find one of these and I remember once reading on here years ago a few guys said the optics were a little odd in this model compared to the 2.5 x 8 Sorry I can't be more specific but I do remember one or two guys agreed with the OP that there was something lacking in this particular model. Anyone have opinions on this scope? Also did Zeiss ever make a Conquest in these ranges on magnification?

I’ve used one on a .375 for years and it’s been wonderful. It was so good, they had to stop making it along with all the other useful, practical scopes they once produced.

I feel the same way.

Leupold has discontinued so many good models like this one. I heard from a buddy there all of the fixed power models, they only have a few left, are next.

Just watch used prices.

I have a Leupold 1.75-6x32 on my .358 win, it is one of my favorite scopes.

Same here.

I put a Trijicon Credo HX 1-6 on my Howa Grendel, maybe the fourth scope so far. Think this one will stay. Just about perfect.

I had one on my M7 308. I wish that I still had it. Like others have said, they've gotten rid of all their good scopes.

I have two: one on a MRC 7x57 and one in a box that used to be on the MRC 7x57. I took it off because I had Leupold change the reticle to the German 4 and don't like it (the crosshairs are pretty thick), so I put the one with the regular duplex back on. If Leupold ever again decides to reasonably exchange reticles I might have it switched back.

As for what might be a bit odd about it is some people find the eye relief a little less than some of the other models, certainly shorter than the 2.5-8s that are on my Featherweights or the 3-9 on my M1909.

I have a VX-3 1.75-6x32 and it is one of my absolute favorites. I’ve not noticed short eye relief. The adjustment range for windage and elevation is pretty small. Mine does have a German #4 from the custom shop and I like it. The scope is mounted on a Marlin 336.

i just found one vx3 with german 4 and really interesting in low light conditions. i may put on my 9.3x62 or the 9.3x74r ...

To my eyes it's less tunnel-y than the 2.5-8. I have several of both. Have always found the 1.75-6 to be more user friendly.

Have one on a Kimber .308. No complaints with it. But I’m not much of a complainer either.

I have one on a Kimber 257R and like it.

After trying a bunch of different scopes on my old Marlin guide gun I settled on the 1.75-6x leupold. Sold the scope with the gun to a friend who wanted it for his son. Regret both, turned out the guy was not the sort of friend I thought he was ... skipped town with a bit o' my money and some other folks guns.

Anyway, I have one sitting new in box for a future project. Could be a Ruger 77/xx, could be the new Marlin-by-Ruger when those come out.

Mine on my pre-64 M70 358 Win.

So did Zeiss make a scope in the Conquest line 1.75 x 6 or 2.5 x 8 similar to the Leupys?
On 1.75 do you see the end of the rifle barrel?

Zeiss made a 1.8-5.5x38, or something like that. I always wanted to try one, but you don't see them come around too often.

Just sold one for a friend in the classifieds a few days ago.
