Zeiss Conquest$750 or Leupold VX-3 $550??

Both are 3.5-10 x 50mm


I decided to get a better scope. These are the two I will likely purchase. Is the Zeiss worth the money?

I was making the same decision 3 years ago, but with 4.5-14x50. I went VX-3 and couldn't be happier. It is an excellent scope and I have never had a problem with it. It's still crystal clear.

The conquest is a fine scope and worth the money, but I honestly feel that the VX-3 is as good or better for less money. If I had it to do over again, one of my Conquests would not have been purchased. I would have gone with the VX3. THe other Conquest was a smokin deal, so I have no regrets on it.

Zeiss is the best scope for the money IMO. Excellent scopes and they rival the $1500 Swarovski's.

are you completely against a Nikon?

I love my Buckmaster for less than half the price of that Leupold you listed

Both are good scopes. I actually sold all my scopes and have been converted to bushnell. Sounds weird, but they are putting out some serious stuff now.

I will be using a Bushnell HDMR 3.5-21 on my new gun since everything in my sig is gone now.

Also, if you are looking for optics of any kind. I will highly suggest you CALL Jay at sportoptics.com. He is a good dude and knows his shite. Not to mention its a local company.

I like my Conquest, but honestly I dont think you will notice a 200 dollar difference in the Leupold
