Conquest target knobs

[overgunned]

Would like to know if the "clicks" on the Conquest target knobs are audible or not. And how "positive" they are. Thanks.......

Clicks are very positive and smooth. Cannot confirm on "audible" as I am as deaf as a rock. I really like them on my 4.5x14.

I just checked my 6.5-20 Conquest. I agree with SDWhirlwind, the clicks are positive. And yes, they have an audible click to them. They are about the same volume as my NF 3.5-15.
Because the Conquest has 18 MOA per turret revolution,compared to NF w/ 10 MOA per revolution), each click is a shorter arc,amount of turn on the knob) as compared to the NF. The NF clicks move the turret about twice as much as the Conquest does, and both are 1/4 MOA clicks.
Another thing to be aware of is the Conquest knobs turn opposite of most "American" scopes. On the Conquest, clockwise is up and right. On my NF and Sightron, clockwise is down and left. If I shoot both scopes on the same range trip, my simple brain doesn't do a very good job of keeping straight which way to turn the turret w/out reading the arrows/numbers.
Conquests are great scopes for the money, so I'm sure you'll like them too.

The reason for my post was that I just had a target elevation knob installed on my 3-9x40 Conquest. The dial seems very "mushy", not real positive, and inaudible, to boot. Not like the Leupolds I'm used to. Closer to a Super Sniper. Zeiss told me that this is pretty much how they are. They did not beat around the bush or lie about it, which I can appreciate. I was told that some are louder than others and some more positive. I was also told that this issue has never come up before with them, about customers wanting audible clicks. It also took me 6 weeks to get my scope back. About a month longer than similar transactions with Leupold. Anyway, I'll not buy another......
