I'm looking to spend around $900+\- on a scope. I've narrowed my choices between the the zeiss conquest 6.5-20x50 or the swaro Z3 4-12x50. With the different magnification being thrown out, what would be the better scope for low light conditions? This scope will be my deer hunting scope. Any input would be appreciated
 
the best optic in lowlight will be the lower magnification choice... I've ran the conquest and the Z5... both amazing glass... I would consider swaro the cadillac of glass...
if you've got the dough, the swaro is the way to go.
 
I'd go with the Z3 for a deer rifle. The Zeiss is great but the 6.5x20 is a rather large scope and a bit high in magnifacation for a big game rifle. The Z3 will have great glass and the size will be smaller, lighter and the lower 4x will allow a wider FOV. I also give the glass advantage to the Swarovski.
 
I would pick the Swaro if it were my choice. Cameraland has a Z3 4x12 demo for $819. My deer rifles have 3x9's on them but I'm in the east, I can see where you might benefit from a little extra magnification.
