I've put this scope on my .223 heavy barrelled varminter and it is just the 'bee's knees'. Ive owned several 1980s Zeiss scopes from Germany and they are the 'gold standard' for me to compare other scopes with and this is one of the few that can beat them. Others would be the Nightforce scopes at twice the price (and weight). The scope's graduations read 1milrad at 12x, so thats a plus for me as I can range at 12x and then use the BDC at 14.5x (set for my loads) or calculate clicks and wind it up to 20x and use the centre of the crosshairs. All in all a very good buy.
So good I bought 2; then another 3-9x40 Conquest for my daughter's rifle.
Pros: Clarity is second to none. Z Plex is easy to set up. Big turrets with clear clicks.
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes

My first Zeiss scope. Typically a Leupold guy, but impressed as heck with this Zeiss. Like the Mildot reticle. The target turrets are easy to adjust and the scope stays locked on zero. Extremely happy with my purchase from OpticsPlanet.
Pros: Optics, Target Turrets, AO on knob
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes

I was searching for a good 1,000 yrd scope. Zeiss has the best for the value. Others were double the cost. OpticsPlanet did a great job with order and delivery service. This is my second big purchase at Optics Plant and will continue to buy. Thanks again.
Pros: Very clear lens, great zoom and easy targeting. Great value.
Cons: None that I can see.
Would recommend: Yes

Fantastic, high end, scope for a very reasonable amount of money. You'd be hard pressed to see any difference between this mid-priced Zeiss and ANY scope.
Pros: Clear, crisp image and solid controls
Cons: 30mm and, therefore, I needed new rings
Would recommend: Yes

This is by far the clearest scope I've ever owned. I was concerned the Z-Plex might not show well against black targets, but that has not been a problem.
Pros: Very clear optics, love the Rapid-Z reticle for target shooting.
Cons: Setting zero-hold on the 6.5x20 is a little complicated for a target shooting beginner.
Would recommend: Yes

This is my second Zeiss riflescope. I chose to mount it on a custom 6.5-284 rifle that I have been working on for this coming hunting season. I considered several other high end manufacturers, but went with the Zeiss Conquest based on previous experience with their product and the combination of quality and features for the price. So far, I have only used it for about 50 rounds at the range... I can't wait to get it out to the deer lease and really take it for a drive. I am very pleased with the decision I made so far.
Pros: Extremely bright and clear, great ranging reticle
Cons: not available with hunting turrets in a standard configuration
Would recommend: Yes

I purchased the Zeiss 6.5-20 conquest with the varmint reticle, for my custom built remington 700 22-250. Absolutely love this scope extremely clear and very high quality. The elevation and windage adjustments passed the box test with flying colors. I currently own sevral leupold scoped rifles, and the zeiss conquest far surpasses the leupold vx3 and mark 4. I would highly recomend this optic to a friend!
Pros: Very clear sight picture, very high quality optic
Would recommend: Yes

Zeiss has been good to me. This product is worth a try, but may not be for everyone depending on your needs.

Finest groundhog/prairie dog scope I've used yet. Beats Leupold Vari-X and VXII in similar power ranges...much brighter and clearer. Am member in Varmint Hunter's 500 yard club.
Pros: Light trans @ high power
Would recommend: Yes
