Folks ,
I looking to replace the VXII 3x9x40 on my 1974 M77 30-06 & I'd like to hear from fellow shooters that have used both the Leupold VX3 & the Zeiss Conquest . 4.5 x 14 with a large objestive lens is what I was thinking of but I really don't want to mount the scope way above the barrel . Maybe what I want to do and reality are 2 different birds -I don't know .
I have looked at a couple of friends rifles that have Conquests mounted on them and they are nice and clear . But USA made means a lot to me and my choice . However I :?: 'm not going to spite myself if I can't get what I'm looking for .
Everyones first hand input is greatly appreciated.
Good Shooting and have a Merry Christmas .
