The Conquest line was definitely designed for the American market. Zeiss carefully words where it's made- they say it's assembled in the US. At least that's what it said on my 3-9x40.
My opinion of the scope is very, very favorable. It's very bright and sharp from edge to edge. I thought the adjustment knobs were very well designed to be easy to use, and the adjustments were accurate and consistent.
Is it as good as the 1200$ european 30mm tube Zeiss? I doubt it. since when are 400$ scopes as good as 1200$ scopes? The real question is: is the Conquest as good as its competitors in the same price class? Like the Leupold VX-111 and the Burris Signature?
I think so.
If I were going to buy a 3-9 in the 400$ price range again, it would be the Zeiss Conquest.
