Not to take away from my original suggestion, but yes, these are both very good examples. I own one of each, and am very happy with them so far.

Here is a pretty good analysis I did, and some comparison.

IMO I don't think you can beat the Vortex PST series for the money. I sold my Leupold MK4 and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 with Target turrets. Very tough to beat Zeiss Glass. The tracking is excellent.

I had the Zeiss, nice glass but the 1" tube didn't give my .308 enough elevation to get to 1,000 yards.
Food for thought.

Re: $1000 Rifle Scope

Zeiss just brought on some new designers and some major brass so I think we'll be seeing a new developement in the zeiss line. Hopefully they do bring in some 30mm tube options in the conquest line.

Re: $1000 Rifle Scope

I wish like hell my 4-16 pst had better glass.

I really liked the reticle, had some form of zero stop, ill reticle, but the glass was very dark. I felt lucky that the vendor accepted it back and gave me a refund, rather than sending it to vortex for a similar replacement. For what it is worth the vendor looked at/through it upon receiving it and said it looked fine. Mine and 2 other sets of eyes noticed a 4200 and millet trs-1 as having being noticeably "brighter".

If I never hunted it might have been fine I guess.

Funny I was thinking of getting a Mk4 4.5-15x50 but decided on another NXS. Glass is comparable to my 2.5-10x50 4200, but not really better.
