Zeiss Conquest HD5 scope

coolhand - I'm looking for a review also. I'm a huge Zeiss fan and am particularly interested in the 5-25x50; someone on this forum must have some experience with one.
 
Well be a little while to get back to you guys on this. Got a call today and is backordered for a couple of weeks from Zeiss!

There's a surprise. Last rifle I wanted to try something other then Leupold as that's all I've ever owned. At the time Zeiss had a sale on and you couldn't find any of their products. Seems like they are always selling something they don't have. I came out of that episode with a bad taste on Zeiss.
 
I'm in the same boat. My dealer and his distributer don't have any and don't know when Zeiss will deliever them. I'll give them another month, then i'm going with ole reliable... Leupold.
 
I have always had good luck with Zeiss. Last purchase got the scope and the rebate very quickly.
The HD5 I ordered from a sponsor here not only to support them but they had 9% off and free shipping so if I have to wait a couple of weeks to save a $100 bucks it's ok as I'm in no hurry.
 
Will do . i will post pics as soon as I get it . Give you a review out of the box. I haven't chose a mount yet so not sure how soon it will be on the gun . It's going on a .204 .
 
It's here. Showed up today !! Seems to be built very well. This is the first time I tried a different reticle so I was kind nervous I wouldn't like it . The rapidz is a lot finer than I was expecting so that is good . I will try and get out and compare it to a couple of other scopes. I put it next to my conquest 6.5-20x50 and its about two inches shorter . It's about 1.75 longer than my vx3. The scope is very clear. For a quick test I set up a couple of guns and looked through all three at the same spot. First thing I noticed is the HD5 is clear from the outside all the way to center. Where the other two are alittle fuzzy around the outside edge. If its alittle warmer tomorrow I get a little better look at them together. So far so good.
 
I have the HD5 5x25x50mm mounted on my 6x284. Its the best glass I've ever owned and I've owned just about all the upper end mid price range scopes. 1 HD5 5x25x50mm
2 Weaver Grand tactical 3x15x50mm
4 Sightron S111 8x32x56mm
5 Bushnell elite 4200 6x24x40mm
6 Leupold 8x25x50mm
7 Bushnell elite 6500 2.5x16x50mm
That's how my 55 year old corrected vision eyes rates the scopes I've owned.
 
Went callin so took awhile for me to get back . I think the HD5 has alittle bit better clicks you can hear them . My 6.5-20x50 were ok but could have been better these are better for sure . I will try it out tomorrow with other scopes . Keep in mind I don't have this mounted on the gun yet... Long story
