Seems I remember hearing they are assembled in the USA {?}
CORRECT
and that the lenses are not the same as that on the main Zeiss line.
I BELIEV THAT IS THE CASE BUT IT IS ALSO THE CASE WITH ALL OF THE MANUFACTURERS - INCLUDING LEUPOLD.
I do not know the details. I have read other reports stg that the Conquest line is not up to the VXII or VXIII Leupold quality.
AGREE - AND HAVE READ THIS AS WELL BUT A MATE OF MINE HAS BOTH AND LOTS OF CONQUESTS AND HE LIKES THEM ALOT - And he is a picky person so it says alot.
