I have several of the Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14X50AO MC rifle scopes and I find their clarity and briteness to be better than other scopes of similar expense. They provide excellent clarity for bench rest shooting as well as hunting and shooting at long distance.

The turrets have solid tactile and audible clicks and the scope will shoot the square and retuirn to precise zero. The maginification range is works well for western hunting where shots may be very long. The scope has a 1" tube which I prefer since many rifles that come with factory ring sets tend to be 1" tube size verses 30mm.The target turret feature allows the scope to be retrofitted with lazer etched turret caps for your specific load ballistics. The ocular lens is easily adjusted and the parralax adjustable AO is on the side of the scope body for easy access, The maginification markings are large and easy to read. Eye relief is very good and works well with magnum calibers. for those is
