Zeiss Conquest HD5 review/help

[Jimmy_grayson]

Hey everyone, I've tracked down a zeiss hd5 3-15x42 that seems to be in great condition. It would be replacing a vx3i on my 300win. The guy is asking $750 (which seems like a fair price from anything else I can see). Anyone have one of these? What do you love/hate about it? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I like both of mine a lot and love the Rz-600 reticle. I think your price is more than fair. My only complaint is that they have a bit of fish eye at low power, but that’s a consequence of the 5x magnification range.

Great price if in great condition. They retailed up to $1600 from what I've seen. Only dislike is the stiff magnification ring, present on both my 2-10 and 3-15. Great image quality and low CA

Have one in the 2-10 with the rz600 reticle I got brand new for $850. It's my favorite scope.

Great scopes, very durable. 750 seems reasonable, I purchased a couple used a few years ago in the 1000$ range while they were still being made.

Had one with the standard reticle for several years..very nice scope..clear, sharp glass...excellent value at that price...only reason I sold it was to move up to a Kahles 624i...had to add a couple of dollars though...LOL
