Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Zeiss Rimfire Scope

I was looking at the Zeiss website and came across this product. It is a 3-9x40 Conquest Rimfire Scope. Has anyone seen one or found a review?

If you find out where to get one please let me know. I never even knew it existed. I wonder if it is simply the 3X9X40 with a parallax adjustment. My guess is yes and in that case I might need to contact Zeiss and see if they can adjust any scope just like Leupold.

That would be a big scope for a rimfire.

I have a Kahles 2-7 rimfire that's about the right size and has great glass.

Good morning,
Yes, it is a retooled 3-9x40 Conquest @ $499.99. We have them in stock

A couple years ago I had Doug order me a Z3 3-9x36mm from Swarovski with the parallax set to 50 yards for my Kimber Klassic .22LR

Perfect size IMHO for a small light weight .22LR, and the optics isn't too shabby neither.

Thanks Doug for the swift response. I would much rather do business with someone like you that has such excellent customer service and communication. The prices ain't shabby either!!

Would have not thought of doing that. I can't think of a better rimfire glass. It's fairly compact and the glass is hard to beat. That one would out class my 2-7 Kahles...

DF-

Not sure it would outclass it, but the Swaro is a dandy. I have several Kahles scopes on My Anshutz rifles and think the combo is a winner. I never really worried about parallax at a closer distance so much as the other way around. Agree the Conquest would be heavy on a rimfire sporter.

Are your Kahles scopes the rimfire version or the hunter version? I just put a 2-7X36 AH on a CZ 453. I've shot some one hole groups and some with a flyer. I haven't decided yet if the fliers were ammo or parallax issues. Flyer was less than 1/4" out. Range was about 40 yards. Shot all one hole with different ammo and scope but ran out of that ammo.

Mine are not the rimfire version R.H.. Not sure how many rimfire versions they produced but they do surface from time to time.

Does Zeiss offer parallax correction like Leupold does?

I recently bought a AH 2-7 4a reticle that was supposedly a rimfire. When discussing this scope and a TDS 2-7 I have with Kahles support they indicated that the rimfire was the same scope as the AH and that the rimfire was simply a marketing thing.

I called them about changing parallax to 50 yards on an older model 3X9X36 Diavari C USA and they said no but would on newer models for $75. I would think you would need to ask about the model before sending it in.

Good info, didn't realize Zeiss offered a rimfire Conquest.

Reviving an old thread I know...but its worth mentioning Midway has these 3-9x40 Conquest rimfires on clearance right now for $355 & free shipping..At this price I couldn't pass it up this time around.

Here was the most telling review to me regarding this scope on Midway's site:

"This is a magnificent product! One thing, though.....note that this is a 50-yard parallax set scope. It does NOT have a side parallax adjustment as shown in the list of features on the Midway page. I was very annoyed by that discovery. Midway's text description is correct, however. Anyway, this scope is the clearest I've ever owned, and dead-on when sighted-in. It's perfect for 50-foot precision shooting. At 100 yards, it will drive you crazy. If this matches your needs. you'll be very, very happy with it."

This coincides with my thinking that parallax is more an issue to contend with at longer distances than shorter. I believe the rimfire designation is a marketing ploy that in my view is unnecessary. I' d rather spend my money on an adjustable objective equipped scope.
