RE: Zeiss scopes
I have always put Leupold on top of my gun's also,untill I my friend picked up a Zeiss and we went "head to head" at dusk one evening! The Zeiss won!!! Last X-mas I got my first Zeiss and it won't be my last...

I've heard nothing but good about Zeiss riflescopes and I've looked through enough of them to know that I will probably mount one on my next rifle instead of my favorite -a Leupold. My bro worked for an outfitter in Alaska this summer and they swore by Leupolds, not that there's anything wrong w/ that, but they saidZeiss scopes leaked/fogged up. Anyone ever experience this?

We’ve sold our fair share of Zeiss over the last 30 years and I have never seen one leak or fog up. I would buy one with confidence…..In fact I already have!

RE: Zeiss scopes
Riflescopes do you have on Zeiss underwear also. Its kinda ironic you make a post about someone being sponsored by or linked to Leupold and asking a questions about Zeiss's quality and then having everything but Carl Zeiss nail polish on.
IMO the Zeiss scopes are better then the Vari X's but I think the guy was asking an honest question about a product he's about to drop around 500$ on.
Coolbrez before you spend all that $ check out the Bushnell 4200's you can get them shipped from ebinoculars.com for 350 for a 2.5-10x40mm with firefly reticle and rainguard. They arent as good as the Zeiss but compared to my VX III's picked up more light at dusk. (Im not sponsored by Bushnell or Ebinoculars either) The only drawback is they dont have a ton of eye relief for the big calibers. Only about 3.3- 3.5

I posted that picture on purpose. Thought it would be funny. Ya'll just took it wrong. That happens with type, because you can put your own feel to it.
I was not trying to bea jerk at all, just present some facts and try to get a smile out of ya'll.
Look, here I am a month later pimped out with Leupold gear. Gold ring 10x42 and VX-III 4.5-14x40.
I'm new here and its ya'lls house, I understand. If ya'll knew me a little better it would not have come across like that.

RE: Zeiss scopes
All good. I'm just doing my research on a couple products I'm considering. I have no affiliation w/ Leupold or Zeiss, I just like their optics. I'm not sure about the outfitter he worked for. I was surprised when he said that, b/c I've heard Zeiss is one of the best. Most everyone swears by them, and I've looked through a lot of Zeiss scopes, but have never bought one.

RE: Zeiss scopes
I have owned 1 Zeiss scope for 15 years and it is just as good today as the day I bought it. Never a problem but to be honest the image through my newest scope which is a Leopold is just about as good in my aging eyes. Both are quality optics and I really can't tell the difference between the two.
