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

[wilehunting]

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

I'd think you've been using the Zeiss for years as it hasn't been made in years. If it's served you well why get rid of it?

Sounds to me like you have an excuse to build a second rifle for the Maven scope

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.

Zeiss.

Drop your Zeiss and see if it passes the drop test

Per the maven rep I know, the C series is a "b grade" glass and is made in china. Not to say it's bad, I'd just stick with Zeiss in this case.

Now, the mainline maven stuff is excellent for the price point
