I don’t think Zeiss “promoted” the Conquest scopes to be top of the line. They still make and sell their Victory line, albeit at gob smacking prices, like $3500.00 CDN!!!! They are also 36mm tubes now.... Big heavy pigs, but they are quite short in OAL, which is nice because many scopes today are just too damned long IMHO.... I think these new Zeiss Victory scopes are starting to cross breed with the Hensoldt military/LE scopes...... The glass is absolutely superb. The erector adjustment range is quite significant and they finally fixed their crappy turrets and are using a much better designed and significantly improved turret with very positive tactile clicks. The reticle choices are minimal. Basic 3 heavy duplex reticles and thin stadia wire to the top of the scope from the horizontal.

The Conquest line was built to a price point to compete with Leupold, and I think they fell short. The equivalent money Leupolds are better scopes with better glass, again IMHO.
