    Help me choose a scope.

    I want to get a new scope for my sendero in a 300 win mag. Currently I have a Zeiss terra 3-9x50. I was looking at a Zeiss conquest 5-25x50. I have used the gun for nilgai and a couple oryx. I'm going on a west Texas Aoudad hunt this year. I'll be using the gun for other hunts, mule deer and sheep. Price range $1500 +or-. Any help would be appreciated.

    $1500 is a pretty good budget. Any features you just have to have?

      If you want a Zeiss, I would go with the Z5 (even used) instead of the Conquest; however, there are many offerings from Leupold et. al. That fit the bill as well.

        Swaro for glass

        VX6 for the CDS

        Those would be my choices

        Your budget allows for lots of options though

        Maybe spend some of the coin on a new trigger if you aren't running a timney or jewell in it also

          That's a pretty good idea.

            I have 2 Conquest HD5 5-25X50 with the plex reticle with locking turrets. I really like these scopes. The glass is nice on them. The VX6 is a nice scope also Euro Optics has a few left for $949.
            But if you want great glass go with a Swaro as mentioned above.

              I can hook you up pretty good on a Swarovski if you want to go that route. A Z5 would fit the bill perfect. There is 3-18x44 and a 5-25x52.

                I have a nightforce shv on my sendero and absolutely love it. Holds its 0 in nilgai rigs and it has true 1/4" clicks. I have 100% faith in a miss not bein my scope or gun if it's me or a client shooting

                  Looking for something possibly with a ballistic reticle.
                  Not familiar with the Z5.

                    Swarovski's BRH/BRX reticle is a good ballistic reticle and they have an app that you can plug in your ammo or handload data and it will show exactly what you need. I prefer the BRH for hunting because the BRX is too thin for me and doesn't show up the best in low light. The BRH is normal thickness.

                      This is the BRH


                      Here is an example of my reticle for my 25-06. I have a smaller z3 on it, but the reticle is the same.
