Yep, the one that is now sitting my 300wm has target turrets and side focus, several others I have on different rifles have it as well.

G'day Mick,

I recently purchased the Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 from Camerland NY for about $750 landed on my door step.

It is a brilliant scope on my .204, great at night with plenty of magnification. It also has side focus.

Grab one, it's definately worth it!

Regards,

CZ550

I did in the end get from CameralandNY
AU$997 to my door for a Conquest HD5 5-25x50.

Luckily for me, Erica is a very understanding woman 8)
(so she says :roll: )

Best price I could get in Australia was $1500 plus post.

Good pick up, $500 saving it is certainly worth while going off shore.

Happy to stand corrected there, the ones I was looking at did not - so assumed they all didn't.

I went and checked out camera land by but they adamantly stated they do not ship scopes outside the U.S?

How did you guys get around that?

Thanks

Simple, I emailed them and asked about the specific scope I wanted.

Mark,
As I said to you on the phone, it is clear, it looks nice - and I like the Z800 reticle.
Its a Zeiss . . .

I don't have it on a rifle as I want to breach its virginity with the .308 Norma, so cant comment on internal adjustment etc.
But I did see a bloke walking his dog on the hill about 700 yards away during a drizzely shitty day - so I am full of hope that it will be a goodun.

Mick
