I love the Leupold sitting atop my .270 Remington 700, but I've heard great things about the Conquest series also.

leupold.

when i tested the 2 head-to-head, they were virtually identical. zeiss had a slight edge in brightness, leupold had the edge in clarity/resolution. the difference in brightness was all but unnoticeable, but the difference in clarity was significant.
