Taxed,
I have one and consider it a GREAT scope,especially for the money.
I bought 3 new scopes last year>burris black diamond 4x16-50mm,nikon monarch 5.5x16 44mm and the zeiss.
A friend bought a Leupold 4.5x14 50mm for his 270,we compared them all.He reluctantly agreed the zeiss was "as bright or brighter than the big 50mm scopes.
Not to be the type to say I PICKED THE BEST,the order was zeiss,then the burris,leupold and nikon were neck and neck.
Try dnrsports>$581 I payed $629 for mine.
You won't be sorry...ME
