Reviews & Ratings for Zeiss Conquest V4 6-24x50mm 30mm Tube Rifle Scope, Second Focal Plane — 14 reviews — Page 1

I literally had this build in mind for a while, and as I iteratively improved my skills did the same with my desired end rifle. I erred in more than 1 place, but the single, most costly, unchangeable mistake I made was in purchasing CONQUEST V4 6-24x50 ZMOA-1.

I had always planned on my whatever longer range build I had planned, initially, had long since set aside a PST, as for my level of skill and budget, a Viper PST Gen II.

In all sincerity, IMO, the use case is irrelevant, though. This scope was literally the biggest mistake I have made in regards to investing since I got into the sport. I literally figured, German-engineered, Japanese-sourced glass, and, at the time, was ~ $400 less than the Vortex. Well, here, it is not. And even then, I wish I had the 900+ back towards the PST. Why everyone reviews the Zeiss as highly as they did/do, I cannot fathom.

After a year? My ONLY positive is the eyebox. which is better than any other scope I own, but not THAT much better to quadruple the cost. The elevation turret failed about 4 months ago. I had to completely disassemble and found that after about 400 rounds, a set screw had loosened, and well, from there, if you know zero stops, you know the rest. This is not the first zero stop I've set by a long shot; never had this happen. Yes, to your question, I used a torque.

Higher magnification has a linear loss in clarity and a reduction in discrimination. It is better than the Osprey trash scope from a show when I was clueless,...

Put this scope on a 22-250 build and have shoot all the way out to 400 yards with it. The zero stop is easy to adjust and comes back to zero ever time.

The scope is a great scope.
However it is not what I ordered.

This scope is amazing! I love the clarity of the glass, the eye relief, fast target acquisition, and how smoothly the zoom works. I own several more expensive scopes (Huskemaw, Swarovski, Nightforce) and the glass is just as good. The zoom is smoother on this Zeiss than any of them!

Very nice piece of glass. the illumination levels are excellent, and your favorite setting is always one click away. I shot a 2 1/2 inch group at 300 years, new rifle, new scope first time out. The POptic Planet coupon discount made it that much better.

Before you read this know that I AM a Night Force fan through and through, but....
I bought this scope to replace my NF. YES, I said REPLACE it bc the reticle in my NSX is so outdated-the MOAR reticle has NO WIND HOLDS. This Zeiss #65 reticle is just like the MOAR but it has 2 min. wind dots and makes it MUCH more accurate than holding for wind in the middle of nowhere. The glass is better, the reticle is better for %40 less money than my NSX. With a 20 min. rail on my rifle I still have over 60 min. of internal elevation. It seems to be working very well but I only have about 100 rounds through it. I hit 954 yards my first shot last week but I have not gone further than that yet. I typically do not like Zeiss products because I bought a scope many years ago and it took them 27 weeks to change the reticle in it and get it back to me. 6 mos. was too long for me. However, I saw the review with Tom Beckstrand and the V4 and I thought I'd give it a shot. Only time will tell but it seems to be a solid product for decent price. JMO
Good luck.

The product is everything I expected from Zeiss. High quality and top of the line optics. Working with Optics Planet was easy and the process was simple. I had another purchase I needed to return and they handled that process very well.

The Zeiss Conquest V6 5-30 is an outstandingly simple yet quality scope, particularly for those who prefer shooting Second Focal Plane (SFP). Additionally, the scope is offered in MOA for those who don’t use MIL. Optical quality is exactly what one would expect from Zeiss. Scope is made in Germany, is relatively light weight compared to competitors scopes. This is my third Conquest V6 and 10th Zeiss scope, they are have an great zero-stop feature and just perform. Highly recommended.

I'll admit, I went back and fourth on the initial purchase of this for about 2 months because of the price. I know the general rule for quality is you get what you pay for, but my head and my gut were saying two different things...no surprise there. After acquiring a new rifle and playing with the ZEISS app for a while, I finally decided that this was going to be too easy and there was no reason NOT to try it out... and am I ever glad I did! In the app, you just pick your optic, caliber, load and zero then it tells you the exact ballistics of your shot out to 1000 yards. With 80 inches of adjustment on the elevation turret, I can hold on target with every single shot and make impact (as long as I do my job). I loved that scope so much, I bought a second one. My first one currently sits on a .22-250 and has the illuminated reticle for low light and night hunting coyotes. The second one is on top of a Bergara Highlander 6.5PRC. This scope is amazingly clear in every situation that I have been in with both rifles. Each have the 30mm tube and they gather a ton of light and extends my shooting time at dusk/dawn, and it outperforms every other optic in the safe.
Lets just say I'm glad I went with my gut on this one! Hands down the best optics out there.

Bought in 2019 and already been used and abused. To start off the durability of this scope is attractive. On my first hunt I slipped crossing a creek, I fell, and my scope clearly hit something hard. Concerned my shot placement may be off, I setup a target and checked my sighting, it stayed right where I wanted/expected it to be.
One of the deer I killed in 2019 was 380 yards away – I was easily able to adjust my turret and make perfect shot placement.
Another one of my deer I shot in 2019 was down in a creek bottom 2 minutes before end of shooting time. It was even more dark down in that creek and I barely could make the deer our with my naked eye. The light intake of this scope made it easy to find my target and make a good shot. There was 0 question of what I was looking at or where I was aiming.
