New Upgraded Zeiss Conquest V4 Riflescope Review

[Jim Carr]

Is there a way to tell the newer generation from the previous?

Yes it has an external windage turret.

Yes it has an external windage turret.

so the old one had windage turret but not “extended” and none locking? Is the correct?

 

[amassi]

Correct
The old model had an exposed elevation turret that did not lock but had a zero stop.
The windage turret was capped and in the only major flaw in my humble opinion the cap was a very brittle plastic.

How far does the "extended" windage turret stick out? Has anyone had issues of brass hitting the windage turret and kicking back into the ejection port? I'm looking at the V4 for a rifle that currently does this - Older Tikka T3 wearing a SWFA SS scope.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I also believe the illuminated t30 and zbi reticle are also new. I picked up a 4-16x50 illuminated t30 from Red hawk rifles that has the updated turret pattern. I had the choice of external windage or capped windage and I got the capped windage.

I have a few conquests and I love them - might need another

No sure if the V6 and V4 windage turrets are exactly the same but im sure they are.
Here are some side by side pics swfa turrets stick put 7/8" more.
There is a smith i believe out of CA that turns swfa turrets down smooth.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I do not have a 24hr campfire.
But the guys over there I've seen mod them heavy.
Some even leave the windage knob off and put a rubber cap on.

I've seen some of those mods. I like it! I'm pretty tempted to whittle on one of my SWFAs but the DIYer in me knows that it wouldn't be that clean.

I think he does it for like $30 but you'll have to do some digging to see who it is.
Shawn comes to mind.

For anyone wondering if you download the V4 brochure it list the models available with the locking windage.

Great review I am really leaning toward the same scope minus the illuminated reticle,.
