Thread: Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16x44 VS Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44

Hi troops, scope query here. I'm wondering if anyone out there has used both the above and if so what are your thoughts on both? Interested to know their strengths & weaknesses.

Cheers

Leupold warranty is top notch and for that alone i wouldnt buy much else

I have a V4 4-16 Zeiss and rate it highly. Great glass, excellent in low light, the illuminated reticle is pin point. I have the exposed turret version, the windage is a push pull setup which can't be accidentally moved. The clicks are clear and positive. Having said that I reckon you could buy either of these models and be very happy.

I've got both, and both are good. The Zeiss V4 has a shorter tube than the leupold VX5 so look at the ring spacings on your action.
The Zeiss is quite a bit cheaper than the leupold and doesn't have the same resale.

I'd try these guys and see if they will ship across.

Not so sure about resale value as there are many VX 5's coming on here for $1500 to $1850 after paying $2400. I never owned a VX 5 but would like to know the reason why everyone getting rid of them.
I have a Zeis and rate it.

It’s easy to replace a scope later of you need quick cash a rifle however isn’t as easy, I highly rate the vx5 had both and would rather the vx5 for the low turrets and awesome zero lock

VX5 turrets for the win, V4 reticle choice for the win. Had VX, currently got V4 & rate both.

Both are good. I went with V4 for reticle selection.

Cheers fellas! some good info there

Did a couple of guiding seasons for an outfit that was sponsored and had Zeiss Conquest on all their rifles. They were all returned to manufacturer at the end of the season because they couldnt be relied on and had too many faults. VX5 for the win, hands down!
