Re: Anyone running a Zeiss Conquest on their rimfire?
Just heard back from Skylar @ swfa (quick response as usual), here's what the specs (and swfa) say:
I’m going through the spec sheet now, and this is what I have shown.
Magnification-6.5-20
Obj- 50mm
exit pupil-7.7-2.5
Twilight#-18-31.6
FOV-(ft/100 yrds)17.7-5.7
Eye relief-(inches) 3.5
Paralax-(yards) 50-infinity
squared adjustment range-(inches/100 yards) E:45.36 / W:28.8
Adjustment per click(1/4 MOA) 0.7cm/100 m
Diopter adjustment range-+2 /-3 dpt
Tube- 1”
Length- 15.59
Weight- 21.83
As far as the total clicks, 180, which will make it 90 minutes of adjustment.
In reference to the Sightron, the glass is going to be inferior in my opinion to Zeiss.
I do not think that a 20 minute base would be necessary, for the range that you are shooting.
So, apparently I should be okay with the conquest. Thanks to everyone here, and to swfa for the help.
On the super snipers, I have had a few 10x, and one each of the 16x and 20x, and while they are rugged and dependable, the glass leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. That said, I do keep a bushnell 10x40 as a back-up scope and like the glass on it better than the ss (but like the clicks better on the ss). I haven't seen/looked through any of the hd ss, and I am sure they are much nicer. I almost made myself buy one of the 5-20x50hd at $1000, but talked myself out of it (I may regret that later on). Anyway, there will always be more deals to be had in the future.
Again, thanks for all the replies.
