ZEISS Conquest V6: what are the advantages of the all-round riflescope?
With the Conquest V6 models ZEISS, promises a light transmission of 92%. The reticle 60 is located in the second image plane. If necessary, a fine, continuous dimmable light point can be activated. In the V6 series, the designers have relocated the dimming wheel and the compartment for the CR 2032-button battery into a tower on the left side of the riflescope. To activate these, the tower has to be pulled away from the casing; to deactivate, it should be pressed down.
The manufacturer states the adjustment range at 250 cm by 100 m distance respectively in height and lateral position. With one click of the adjusting elements, the target mark moves the set distance by one centimeter respectively. The displacement drive without ASV can be zeroed without tools.
ZEISS Conquest V6: a top-performing riflescope in the middle price bracket

Our test result for the ZEISS Conquest V6 2-12×50
The new Conquest V6 riflescopes set new standards in the upper middle class. The cost effectiveness of the tested models is extremely high. With the new 6× zoom the 12×50 is ready for any hunting challenge. For sitting game, stalking, driven hunts or long-range shots – the new Conquest V6 is a real all-round talent.
The fine reticle 60 in the second image plane, available for this riflescope series, provides only minimal target coverage. ZEISS are now responding to this trend – in our opinion there is nothing to be said against it. The light point is activated and deactivated by an intelligent motion detector. This appealed to us. The adjustment for the light unit now lies on the middle tube and no longer on the ocular, a great feature. Rain slides right off the ZEISS-LotuTec-coating and the robust and black matt anodized aluminum casing optimally protects the lens.
