Zeiss or Leupold

[dizzy]

Not in my case. The vast majority of my Leupolds were purchased after my Zeiss....

.

Looks like I guessed wrong. Nothing wrong with leupolds, or zeiss. Just saying for the money zeiss has leupold beat....on average... Across Canada.

I stand corrected. I just reviewed my email from the Bushnell rep, whom I know here in Vancouver, and he called them "Bushnell Custom binoculars." They were the best optics Bushnell made back in the ’70s when they were made.

Whats so custom about them?

Either way, they rival $2000+ binos from todays top brands.

When people looked through them, they immediately "cussed 'em." Custom looked better in print.

Thats probably it, but it could have been the warranty service, or a translation error.

Only if the good binoculars are out of focus.

I recently acquired a Abolt I Medallion that was NIB and now have to consider optics. Lots of experience with Bushnell including 6500, 4200, Legend, and Banner. I also have Weaver K4, Leupold M8, and Burris FFII. I want to try either Zeiss Conquest 3-9X40 or Leupold VX3 2.5-8X40. Out of the two options what would you recommend and why?

Have owned both of those scopes. The Zeiss is the better of the two. Now if you're talking about the VX3 3.5-10x40 of FX3 6x42, then it's a more difficult decision.
