The Conquest 3-9x40 is a better scope than the Terra.

Yes good scopes much better than the terra. I sold my 2.5-8x32 and regret it every day.

I have one - now on Brno .22
Only complaint - the diopter does not + enough "for me"
Had it on a 308 H&K semi and appeared to handle that well - although I only shot 3 Deer with it.
They are in the "Budget" Euro Scope level - but I would still have one over a VXII Leopold (never had a VXIII)

Before you Leopi guys advance - I have the the VX-R 1.25-4 x 20 now - and loving it !!!

They're Asian built to reduce costs and were essentially to replace the Conquest line which was proving very popular world wide.

Vx3 superior to terra IMO. Owned both. For the money of a normal terra could get a vx3 or a real nice vortex and both are superior scopes.

Put a VX3 1.5 x 5 x19 (not 20 -19 is whats on the box) on my 416rem 20 years ago. Great little scope and would be fantastic on a little bush gun

I've owned a Zeiss Conquest for about 6-7 years, it was the Rapid Z 600 model. The glass is great quality, sharp to the edges and fantastic in low light. I have no experience at dialing as the lazer etched reticle did the trick. I've used most models of Leopold scopes and the variable eye relief has bugged me to no end where as the Zeiss had 4" of constant eye relief and a generous eye box. The quality of a Conquest is easily close to a VX6 (VX6 might have the upper hand). For the money they are fantastic scopes and to top it off they are a simple 1" ring and aren't too heavy.

@nor-west, there is one on TM for $500
