264 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Just changed my mind on spotting scopes after using Watto's swaro's in NZ. Only problem is the price. looking at the Zeiss conquest Gavia 85 30-60. Anyone used the Zeiss? Not as light weight as the swaro's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSPhunter Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I have a redfield one I won in one of the magazine writing comps a few years ago. It's done it's job. Low light it's useless above 25x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balltearer Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 One thing for certain when it comes to SC`s if it isnt of a really decent quality and you want to use it in big country under hunting conditions well dont even think of buying it. And a decent one is a lot of money that will sit in your safe for the best part of every year. You have to ask "how many times will I use it?"

Thats about where Im at.... is it worth the outlay for once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balltearer Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thats the way I see it. There are times that I would have loved one,especially on NZ`s south island. Carrying it is another thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the cheaper end of the range at about $700 but the glass is excellent. If they are anything to go by the spotting scope should be ace.
