Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Zeiss conquest 3x9-40 or Leupold 2.5x8-36?

The top one is a Zastavia M98 in a McMillan stock. The bottom is a slightly modified Husky 1640. Both are .270's

Nice, other than being .270's.

Hope Ingwe doesn't see this...

Just have to love a 270 Win.

I'll take the one w/the wood stock, thanks

Zeiss and VX3 models, but 2.5-8, and 3.5-10 are all similar. The Z plex etched reticle is a tad sharper. Bulk? More aesthetic than an issue.

I put the Conquest up to a 3-10 VX3 I had and they were VERY close in weight in hand, and length, etc. Ocular size affects optical performance so accept a Zeiss for what it is - HIGH optical performance. For a 3-9, it's VERY close to anything I have seen at any price, that's just my eyes.

I'd happily run any, and throw in the 4200...used them all, successfully. Good posts above.
