Zeiss Conquest V4 vs Leupold Mark 4

[RugerHawg413]

Good Morning,
I recently posted asking about the overall reviews for the Zeiss Conquest V4, and thank you to all who responded to that thread. Anyway, I was wondering since I have another scope laying around, I wanted to see which one is preferred. I have also bought a Leupold Mark 4 LRT M1 8.5-25x50mm, when it was on sale a year or so ago. So, I was wanting to know which would you use on a rifle that you were planning on shooting out to 600 yards. The Leupold Mark 4 LRT M1 8.5-25x50mm or the Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16x44mm. Please let me your thoughts on both scopes and which one you would use? Thank you for all wisdom and info, it is very appreciated!

Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16x44mm would be the winner in my book. I have the V4 3X12X56 and love that thing!

Too 600? V4 all day. 8.5x zoom on the bottom end is not my cup of tea for a hunting rifle. Plus the Mark 4 is built for having extra elevation adjustment, which you won't need to 600, unless you mount it on a .30-30, and even then I doubt you'll use it.

Agreed! Yeah, I don't care for the 8.5x being the lowest setting either. LOL! Thank you for the info!
