I am considering buying the zeiss conquest with the rapid z800 reticle has anybody tried this scope, comments good or bad please thanks gary
-
I don't have that reticle in mine, but I have the Conquest 4.5-14x50 and I really like it. :twocents:
-
Dont have that reticle on mine, but after the first Conquest I bought, I loved it so much I sported some cash for three more on my other guns. I will never go back to Leupold. Just my :twocents:
-
I have a Ziess Conquest 3x9 with Z-Plex, crystal clear!
-
Awesome scope.... don't know dinkus about that reticle though.
-
On a .270 wsm the reticle marks are "for the most part" right on. Switching loads does make a difference for the longer range marks in the reticle :twocents: Very Very Very great optics when compared to other high end brands :IBCOOL:
-
I've read that the Zeiss w/ the ballistic charts built in can only be used on the power that they were sighted in at. Has anybody else heard this about Zeiss or any of the other optics w/ the ballistics in the glass?
-
I've got 4 of em, my oldest was purchased right after they came out, has resided on my 257. No problems with any of em, great glass. I would recommend checking these guys out, pard has 2 ziess' with the speed hunter nob. Low profile, and VERY accurate.

I bought a 3.5-10 x 44 for my .270 last year with z-600. I like the scope a lot.
I bought a 4.5-14 x 50 for my .300 rum with the z-800.
You need to use the z-reticle calculator on their web-site with the information given and it will tell you exactly what yardage the hashmarks should be.
Yes if you go from a 165 grain to 180 grain the lines will mean different yardage ranges. The key is finding a bullet that you shoot in that gun and use those balistics. If you make lots of changes, you just need to know the yardage for each load.
Love the scope. Hopefully I will be able to show results in the fall.

I have a Ziess Conquest 3x9 with Z-Plex and it is great. I gave it to my oldest boy so now I have to buy a new one. I guess the wife can't say much since it went to my boy.
-
I bought the Zeiss conquest 4.5-14 with the rapid z800 reticle my question is with the zeiss calculator,it implys with the load info that you imput that you set it at a fixed power that is the same for all loads is that correct. thanks
-
From what I understand looking at the zeiss calculator, is that each line is accurate with that bullet to at a certain magnification. I think if you used the calculator the box that says max magnification or something like that is what your power needs to be set at? maybe I miss understood it.

I have 2 Zeiss Conquest 3x9. Real clear and bright. One was on a Tikka .338 winchester mag and went bad inside. I sent it in and they sent me a new scope. They did not tell me what had broke.
-
There is a write-up in this months issue of American Hunter, was thinking of getting a Z-800 myself.
-
Get ahold of Doug at Cameraland ny. You won't get a better price from better people. I have bought 2 bino's, 1 Zeiss Conquest, and 1 camera from them. My next scope will probably be another Conquest 3-9x40 with the 600 reticle from them.
