Looking for in put on new Zeiss V6

[Ledd Slinger]

Im considering a Zeiss Conquest V6 5-30x50 riflescope. Haven't looked through one yet. I have a Zeiss HD5 5-25x50 and the optics/turrets are good for the price range, but nothing impressive. I think this is why Zeiss is discontinuing the HD5 line.

The new Conquest V6 line has received a major upgrade with the Victory Diavari T coated glass and turrets with 20 MOA er turn.

Any input would be appreciated. Especially regarding the glass, reticle, and turrets. Please feel free to educate me with a 'long-winded' review if you have the time Thanks.

There was just a thread earlier this week on this model. Zeiss is using their FL lenses on these. These are not as bright as the Victory HTs, but will have less chromatic aberration. Very good glass, solid turrets. Also very lightweight and compact scope for something in this power range. I'm a rep for Zeiss and sell to stores in MO, KS, and IL. Had a 5-30 sample on a 243 last year and really liked it. Only gripe I've got is the reticle subtensions are true at 25x. It wasn't the biggest deal for me, I clicked in all of my adjustments and didn't shoot past 380 with it. The 3-18 model subtends at 18x. 60 minutes of elevation on the 5-30, 100 on the 3-18.

Zeiss also showed their new V4s at SHOT. These are about $500-600 less but still have really nice glass, similar reticles, and lots of adjustment. These are hitting the market just now.
