I am going to get a long range hunting rifle. It will be used for deer, mostly coues, in AZ with shots up to 800 yards. I will soon be picking up a Bergara Wildness Ridge in 6.5 CM. It will eventually have a Silencerco Harvester on it also.
I am trying to figure out which scope to go with. I have narrowed it down to two because I can get a discount on either of them and they will both cost less that $1K. Here are the two I am looking at, so if anyone has experience with either, I would love to hear from you. I am leaning towards the Zeiss just for the fact that it is a 50 mm objective. Vortex HD LHT 3-15x42 Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16x50 |

I’d recommend the NightForce NX8 4-32
Given the choice of the two you’ve mentioned, both are great scopes. You’ll be happy with either. |

I have the LHT 3-15x42. It's amazing, especially when you consider what you get for the money. You won't be disappointed. The reticle is simple enough for easy dialing and wind holds, and the illumination is everything you could need in a hunting rifle. Glass has good edge to edge clarity and the new zero stop for it is pretty slick. It comes with a rubber scope cover, so I'd recommend a good scope cover. It'll take a vortex large without the sunshade, an XL with the sunshade.

LHT is about on par with the Gen 1 Razor. It’s a very good optic for what it costs.
The Zeiss Conquest is not a proper Zeiss, because they are now farming out the production of the Conquest to an OEM company in Asia. I don’t know where it is, but I do know that it’s not using Schott Glass from Germany. The glass in the Conquest series is not HD glass like with the LHT. With the Conquest, you are paying for the Zeiss name far more than you are for the optical quality. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SGTStewart: Vortex Strike Eagle StrikeEagle is about 2-3 levels below the Razor LHT line. If the LHT is on his radar, going to a StrikeEagle would be a significant downgrade. |
