Ziess

[THE SWEDE]

I just picked up a Ziess DiaVari c in 3-9x36.I picked it up cheap so I want to hear your thoughts.Thanks

These are among the finest riflescopes ever made, I have the 4x version on my Brno21H "roundbolt" .280 Rem. However, the eye relief is VERY critical AND the tube is too short for many rifles; I tried one on my Dakota 76 and no go.

I will use one on a .270 or .280, but, nothing that kicks harder, however, I am kinda a no-neck squarehead and crawl my stocks, so, you may be able to use this on your new .338-06 (with my old stock!). If not, you can sell it easily as they really are a fine scope.

I got a 3-9x zeiss conquest, i love it, great light transmission, clear and crisp, its great

You won't like it Mike. Better send it to me and I will properly dispose of it for you.



Very nice scope. Introduced in 1981, made in Germany. In 1997 moved production to the states. Still with great Optics just made it more affordable. 3.5 inches of eye relief too. Are you putting it on your new cannon? Which reticle does it have?

[THE SWEDE]

Not sure what Reticle it has.Might be going on my 338/06....we'll see.

I have the identical scope on my tikka. It is as clear or maybe a bit clearer than my Leupold 3X9X50 Vari III. At low light it is a bit clearer even though it is only a 36. I haven't noticed it being sensitive to eye releife. It seems to have plenty and easy to aquire targets rapidly. One of the best features of this model is the adjustments are very positive and one click actually moves the point of impact 1/4 inch and stays there....very easy to sight in compared with some lesser quality scopes. I shot a nice 2X3 immature bull moose this year in low light at 440 yds in the timber. My father in law could not make out even the outline of this animal with a bushnell 4200. the Zeisse is the best scope I have ever had.

440yds, WOW!! I hope you used a spotting scope to ensure he was an immature or else where can I get on of those scopes?

[25tikka]

We had big bull draws for the are and I had watched the bull for several minutes until he cleared some heavy brush. At the time I was not sure he was an immature but it only mattered that he was indeed a bull. The 440 yds was measured with a range finder. We do a lot of shooting year round and feel very capable of shots to 500yds. The Zeisse scope is very clear and is a great asset when such a situation arises. I shoot over 1000 rds a year with various combinations and find this scope to be one of my favorites....I am sure that was the original question.

i put that same scope on my new abolt 300wsm and love it, i,ve never had an expensive scope before, one does get what one pays for , now if i could just get my hands on some good binos!
