Looking for a scope for my new 30-06, I stopped in the local gunshop. Was thinking of a Leopold Rifleman 2x7, so I inquired with the salesman. He then came out with a Zeiss Conquest 3x9 in 40mm obj. and said look through this. I was amazed how bright and clear a scope it was. I know these scopes are expensive and I was only looking to spend 200-250 for a scope. He then asked, "How much yout think this scope is?" I said, "Probably 600.00." Anyway, He said that Zeiss just sent it to him as a demo and if I wanted it, he would give it to me for 200.00. The only thing is I do not like the rectile. It has crosshairs that meet to form a circle. I guess ok for hunting but not for target shooting. He said for 85.00 he would send it to Zeiss and get the crosshairs changed to whatever I wanted.
Any thoughts?
