Any feed back on these?Info on how well they track and the lockable target turret would be appreciated.

Friend of mine sent his Zeiss back two years ago and some how it got lost in the shuffle.So Zeiss sent him a upgrade for his troubles.And yes I've used the search function but it didn't turn up much info.
 
I have this model with the RZVarmint reticle. The glass is amazing and can easily see 22 cal holes in paper at 300 yards. I am also amazed at the clarity, even on 25x. I really like the lockable turret, though the zero stop limits travel. This can easily be removed for long range shooting. I have Shot out to 500 yards with it and then returned to my zero stop for the 100 yard shot and it was like it never was moved in the first place. I also performed the box test at 100 yards and it did excellent. The scope is on the heavy side but you won't be disappointed.
 
Just pray you never need to send it in. Their repair and return times are seasonal. Meaning... if you send it in during the summer, you get it back in the winter. If you send it in the spring it will be fall before you see it. Their service is so slow you have to time it standing in Stonehenge with a sun dial and a star chart.

There's a member here that's waited 4 months and still going as far as we know. They havnt updated lately. I don't really care how nice the glass is, slow service like that gives me pause when purchasing. I've sold all of mine and won't be buying anymore.
 
Zeiss makes great products but have sloooow repair turn-around! The side focus parallax on my Conquest was not working properly so I sent it off for repair in late January. I still have yet to receive it. If I had known this when I purchased the scope I probably would have gone with another brand.
