Zeiss conquest for .50 BMG

[mmaguy29]

I'm looking at buying a .50. I have Zeiss conquest 6-20 mil-dot at home, I just want know if it will take the recoil? Any advice will help.

Thanks

The problem with the Conquest is the lack of MOA. Even if it can stand up to 50BMG you won't have enough elevation for long range shooting. My 308 ones have the RapidZ1000 reticle. But.. That's not really enough for 50BMG and the reticle is for 308. 50 moa doesn't give you a lot. I would look elsewhere.

I used one (6-20 Rapid Z1000) for my 308, like everyone else, ran out of elevation quickly, even with a 20moa base. Pretty incredible glass however, If I had used the reticle for what it was designed for, I may have been happy, but I wanted to dial and bought the wrong optic at the time for my needs. I would sell it/trade it for something more towards your needs.

The one inch tube will not have enough adjustment to get you distance.
