I have a Zeiss 4.5-14-44 .Awesome scope.You can read lips at 300 yds. 200 yds it is freaky accurate.The glass is the best I have used at low light .I lost a buck of a life time and moved up to this,just for the sake of first and last light when the big boys are on the move .I have never sat in wait with more than 11 power.I took a deer at 20 yards this past Nov. power was at the bottom end and was great at last light.I think what you describe ,the 3-9 should be right.The 50 size bell on the scope you mention is huge.That may cause a mounting issue .As for the Eotech it is great too.I have one on my RRA.It too has its home.For close up hunting to get a quick shot off at under 100 yds it is a good choice also.I am mounting the Eotech on my slug gun for short -fast shooting.You wont go wrong with the Zeiss.I gave you alot to chew on,but it is done with what I have and use and is just my own opinion.This is a great site with great people for help.Good luck

First high end scope
I am on the preorder list for the Xtreme, which will be my first 6.8. I have been thinking this rifle will be a good shooter with all the attention to detail and the 5R barrel and was wanting a high quality optic to realize its potential. The scope will be used for hunting and target practice and may possible removed once in a while to mount a Eotech for close in hunting so it will more than likely be mounted in a Larue quick detach mount. When hunting the longest shot will be @200 yards. The same goes for the range I go to, 200 max (it may be extended to 300 in the future). The power range I am thinking would fit my needs is roughly 4-16. After doing alot of looking I have pretty much settled on one scope, a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x50 with Mildot reticle and target turrets.

These scopes cost a pretty penny and I am not made of money so it will be awhile before I can get it, but I would like some input from someone who owns a zeiss scope if they have had any problems and what there impressions of it are. Any input would be appreciated.
