Zeiss Conquest HD5

Recommended Posts

I have had 3 good scopes in my life...all of them withing the last 3 years. A zeiss hd 5-25 (purchased from a CWT memeber), leupold vxIII 6.5 x 20 and a nightforce SHV 5-20. The leupold was very nice, but a level down from these 2 sitting sidexsidexside looking out my living room window. Can't tell much of a difference between the Nightforce and Zeiss other than a different shade of light. A lot like how swaro binos have a different color of light than steiner, zeiss, etc. The nightforce may edge it out a hair, but not very noticeable. I have the target turret which has the zero stop and makes things pretty easy. You can order custome turrets from Kenton which I liked a lot. I'll order a couple different ones when I get more accustomed to shooting. I had bought both a v-plex and a 1000 yard reticle and ended up selling the 1000 yard reticle and keeping the v-plex. After shooting the nightforce and liking it, now I wish I kept the 1000 reticle.

 

Overall, very bright and turrets work very well. Optics are good. Heavy as heck, but all the big scopes I looked at were like that. I'd like to get a 6.5 creedmore....if I bought one tomorrow, I'd put a Huskemaw blue diamond, Nightforce SHV, Zeiss hd in that order.
