What can you lot tell me about the Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50?
I am thinking of this scope for a long range rifle build, however also like the fact that the 6.5 x magnification gives me a bit of wriggle room in the event of a closer shot presenting.
Rifle will be a .308 Norma Magnum.

Cheers,

Mick

Had one for about 4 years on a 204 mate. Very happy with it and would buy another in a heartbeat. Even Andrew reckons it goes all right and he is a true Sightron fanboi

Cheers James,
My only experince with "high end" optics is my Loopy Mk4.
So all input gratefully received.

Sorry to correct you Mick but Leupold is not high end.

I have one with Hunting turrets which is its only downfall.

The 6.5-20 Conquest is discontinued it is now replaced by the 5-25 Hd5
I have not looked through one of these so cannot comment

Hence the " " All good though, just been looking at CameralandNY website - the HD5 looks good

Yeah Dave, I have one, but the only thing I can tell you about it at the moment is its black and has a bit + sign in the middle. Will be putting it on the 300 WM in the next day or so. If it is anything like my other Conquest scopes, I will like it.

Didn't Camerland have some of the 6.5-20x50 Conquests going cheap $600, not sure if they export or not. I've got a 6.5-20x50 and its a rippa scope, very nice to use.

I have emailed them to see if they will export, will keep everyone posted on the outcome.

I have two - one with hunting turrets on my .22-250 for spotlighting, and one with target turrets on the Omark for F class. Both simple duplex reticles. Love them. Very clear.

Top end of 20x is a little light on for F class but a mate and I used it to come in second and third in the 300 & 400 yard 10'ring shoot at Hamilton this last Saturday - the winner was using a Stolle panda 6mmBR with March glass.

I reckon 20x will be ample for what you want though Mick.

Got a reply back from CameralandNY this morning,
Cant complain about their action in replying!!

Yes they can send the Zeiss HD5 5-25x50 to Australia - postage about $US45

Hmmm I can a see a Zeiss in my future

Mick - I have one on my Fireball 17 , 204 SubMOA, 17 AH & I can't fault them. All Mill Dot. IMO way above Loopies & not too far away from my Swarvoski for nearly 3 times the money. Can't comment on how it will go on your cannon but would be surprised if your not happy with it.
Good luck.

Cheers Barry.

Mick, definitely have a look though a HD5 BEFORE you order one on line. They have a highly curved field of view at the lower magnifications and you really need to decide if it is problem for you or not.

Thanks Jason, I hadnt heard about that, I will definetly see if Elks have one in stock to look through now.

Ive been eyeing off one of those on camera land too for a 6-284, do they come with side focus the conquests?
