Leupold VX3 vs Zeiss Conquest vs Nikon Monarch
- Thread starter shanesymyrozum
- Start date
I have looked through a few scopes over the last week in a serach for a varmint scope... one of them was the monarch and one was the vx3.... the vx3 was way better than the monarch.... much clearer and the I found the crosshairs on the monarch to be very thick.... haven't tried the conquest yet but am heading up to Lebaron's on the weekend to do so....

You mean from Romania? Same company that makes I.O.R scopes.
...cause you sat outside with a stopwatch and did a direct side by side comparison with a VX-3 and a Conquest...morning and night...right? Yeah of course you did.
"Buy your Zeiss Conquest today and receive an extra ten minutes of legal hunting absolutely free!"
The performance disparity between a VX-3 and Conquest grows greater with each post!

He stated his findings... I know from several of his posts he owns many of these scopes..... why criticize?.... he likes what he likes... OP asked for opinions and you want to argue with someone that doesn't share yours?.... are you one of those that think every scope needs a gold ring around it?....

Okay, here is a great way to tell the difference in optics.I say this because I have tried it and it really shows the differences.
Get out some milk jugs , the 1 Gal type with the labels facing you.Set them at various distances that would be typical of what you will be doing, and set some a bit further.
Now, at varying times during the day take a look at the labels on those jugs.You will see the differences in the definition and sharpness of the labels between the different scopes.
You may not be able to read them further out there but you will be able to see the definition.
You will be very surprised how big some of the differences actually are between some brands.But don't take my word for it, go give it a shot.This is where I really found the quality in glass of the Conquest to show.

Well...................I guess packages of power bait across the store may have to do.
Get as many of your buddies to come out with whatever they have for glass for a test, maybe some gun nutter's could put together a test!

Buying good name scopes will always give you satisfaction, some preference may happen according to the individual, i also take great pride buying a Redfield Revolution at 200.00 to make sure one of my buddy with a limited budget can get a very performing scope without going broke, i am a gunnutz and for me all investment is worthed but for a season hunter why letting him buy a cheap Ncstar scope, when you can direct a person in the right direction, he will be happy and so will i... JP.
It takes a lot of time and effort to truely find the best scope for your eyes.The more you you put into it, the more you will get out of it.Its a tedious job,but well worth the effort, when you find the right one.Listening to suggestions is good,but it comes down to, your decision.I have tried them all,and Iam happy with my choices.
