Lets see how this stacks up.
I'm basically a Leupold guy.

Depends on the rifle and what I'm going to use it for. There are scopes in all three that I like for different purposes..........................DJ

I'm Leupold. Unless I need something they don't make. Then I buy whatever scope meets the need.

There isn't much of anything Leupold can do.That Swar or Zeiss can't do better. dave
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Pretty much a Leupold guy. Likely not the best but works for me at a very attractive price point. If I had to pick their best it's the 2.5-8X36 that rides on my big game rifles.

Most of my "modern" rifles are wearing either 3x,4x or 6x Leupolds. Lately, I've been using 4x Zeiss Conquests, and have been extremely pleased with them, and a 6x Kahles as well. The rest are various "vintage" scopes, such as Lyman, Unertl, Kollmorgen, etc...

I used to own over a dozen Leupold scopes,but over the years,all but one have been replaced.I now prefer Swarovski for big game hunting,and Nightforce for target work.

If my sole concern was weight, I'd go Leupold. If not, the Zeiss Conquest.

I like all three and count on all three to do their respective jobs for hunting - a vertical line, a horizontal line and hold their zero.

Leupold, I've alway been too poor to afford German glass.

Have no idea how "Ziess" performs.
Do use Zeiss, mostly. I like Schmidt und Bender, Swarovski, and (upper class) Leupolds too , as well as others, depending on purpose.

I don't always venture out into the sub-freezing darkness, but when I do, it is deer hunting season, and I carry a Remington. Stay hungry my friends.
