Shopping for scopes - Anyone own a Leupold VX3L or Zeiss Conquest HD5?

[Triple_D]

Looking at new scopes and have it narrowed down to Zeiss Conquest HD5 2 x 10, 42 objective, FOV 56-11, eye relief 3.6” for $850

Or

Leupold VX-3L 3.5 x 10, 50 objective, FOV 29.8-11, eye relief 3.6” for $700

I kind of like the wider FOV and ability to start at 2 power on the Zeiss but the Leupold is cheaper and has a bigger objective (supposedly bigger is better for low light). Plus Leupold has the CDL system if it comes in my odd caliber.

It's going on a .240 Weatherby Mag

Opinions?

Thanks

I have the VX-3 3.5-10x40 on a .270 that I use for deer hunting. It has been a great scope, never any problems. I think they are both good scopes, unless you like the Zeiss better, get the Leupold and shoot more the the money you saved.

Look at the Trijicon AccuPoint TR20 or their other scopes. I'm thinking I really like their scopes.

Nikon makes excellent scopes that can be purchased at reasonable prices. You could look at this comprehensive guide of Rifle Scope Reviews for a thorough review of the best rifle scopes.
