Should I swap my Zeiss Conquest for a Maven rifle scope?

Hi all, looking for opinions. I currently have a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40mm that I am considering swapping for a Maven Crs.2 4-16x44mm. These are both one inch scopes. The Maven survived most of the rockslide drop tests pretty well. From what I understand about the Conquest is that the body was made by Meopta, the glass is made in Germany or Austria and assembled in USA. Reason, a little more magnification. Thoughts, experiences? Thank you

Wait....

The Zeiss body made by Meopta.
Glass from Germany or Austria.
Assembled in USA.

Sounds like top line everything about it.

I agree, build a second rifle for the Maven.

Or sell the Zeiss to me.

That's not the Maven model used in the RS tests. That was the model RS1.2 2.5-15x44.

As I recall it is the only Maven model that has passed.

And the C series rifle scopes are their budget line.
 
Buy them both bed them to the rifle drop multiple times and see which one hold zero then send the other one back to get repaired then sell it once it comes back good as new.
 
Stick with the Zeiss.

@bsnyder - 'Normal' people don't drop their rifles/scopes for fun.

My method has worked well the last two years with 2 ONE shot kills.

Nobody has ever accused me of being normal. When you hunt big animals you need to know your stuff is going to work if you fall out of the tree stand, side by side or if your hiking and fall in the deadfall/rocks, to many variables happen in the field to not take the time to drop it and see what happens. It's only money and that's why companies have warranties right?
