Euros or Zeiss Conquest

[Bocephus]

Hey guys just wanted to get some opinions on what you think is better. The 12x50 Cabela's Euros or the 12x45 Zeiss Conquests. I like that the Zeiss are lighter weight, but to be honest the Euros seem to be a little brighter and clearer. Let me know what you think.

I have the zeiss 12x45 and love them.I think there a great glass.

I asked the same question about 4 years ago. Went with the Euros because of the clearer and brighter. I have not been disapointed at all. Both great glass but I would go with the Euros.

Lots of good deals on Swaro 10x50 SLC's right now since the newer models came out. Super glass.

I love Zeiss Conquest rifle scopes, but don't hear a lot about the bino's. I avoid most Cabela's brand items except clothing, but have no actual experience with Euro optics but have heard some good responses.

Which is more important to you: weight, clarity, brightness...? Which feels better in your hand? How is the eye relief for you with each...? Nothing wrong with either, but what's best for one might not be for another.

If you are going to go with a 12x bino neither would be my choice.

Look for a used Leica 12x50 Trinovid BN or used leica Ultravid 12x50.

I have seen great condition BN's go for well under $1000

Timber just curious where you have seen them for well under $1000.
