Re: ZEISS CONQUEST 4.5-14X50 Mil Dot Target Turrets
The 4.5-14x Zeiss Conquest has about 34moa of "up" ...it's no problem at all to add a 20moa base unless you chew up more than 14 minutes zeroing the thing.
Elevation is not an issue unless you plan to get out past 1,000.
Big benefits are:
1. Very clear and bright glass. Probably the best you can get for the money until you step up to the real big dog high dollar scopes.
2. 18moa per turn knobs with nice clicks. Zeiss is praised for having excellent and precise tracking.
3. Etched reticle. And a nice mildot reticle. Not too thin, not too thick. Just perfect.
4. Real good wide view and very forgiving on eye position.
5. Saves you a good $100 over buying 30mm tactical rings which may not be necessary for your purposes.
6. Kenton offers BDC knobs for the Conquest line.
Short of buying a higher end scope, the Conquest is the best bang for the buck and no sloutch at all. I wouldn't subject it to Lowlight's treatment (throwing it against walls, over hillsides, 30 feet into the air etcetera) ...but it will serve just fine for most people's uses
