Zeiss Conquest scope

Will the Conquest hold up to the recoil of a 7mm Rem mag?

I have been checking out scopes for my newest purchase and these scopes are very clear all the way through the range of magnification.

Thinking 3x9x40 with the Z600 reticle. Comparably priced with Leupold and Burris.

    Obviously there is no guarantee that any given scope will hold up, on anything. That said, my recollection is that the Conquest is their top of the line rifle scope, and should hold up under way more recoil than a 7 mag. I have a friend who uses them almost exclusively, and has for years, with no problem. I'm just a Leu. guy because of their warranty, (which i've never used). I'd say buy any of them with confidence. Good luck.

    The Zeiss Conquest is aimed at the North American market. It is not their top scope, that would be the Diavari. The Conquest is made with West German parts assembled in the United States. It was designed to compete with other comparable scopes already marketed here in the states. The Zeiss product is very reliable and if ever it should fail, they do have a lifetime warranty.

    West German??? You fall out of a Delorean? J/K


    But to the point, these are good scopes for the money and should hold up well to the recoil of a magnum.
