Alycidon Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I understand that Meopta make the Ziess Conquest range for Ziess. That is maybe what he is thinking about. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Isn't Zeiss's military equipment badged as Hensholdt? Not actually sure if Meopta produce the Conquest range.I think that's Zeiss components assembled in the US. I did hear that Meopta gets its glass from Schott who I also believe have Zeiss and probably many other optical manafacturers on their client list. It's quite amazing some of the stories you hear,usually from people trying to sell you something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 If you are after a good 8x56 and don't want to spend a fortune go for a Lisenfeld, German made glass and very under estimated, you can pick one up for under £200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL. Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 If I were after an 8x56, I'd buy the Kahles in the classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds1 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 There is a distict possibility that Meopta makes the Zeiss Conquest range.....have been the Meopta factory a few times. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polski Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 According to Chuck Hawks, the conquests are assembled in America. Chuck Hawks Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Possibly more than one place of assembly. However I still tend to trust my own eyes.......having seen the assembly process. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polski Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Just checked my conquest, it's got "assembled in usa" on the eyebell, make of that what you will. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Just checked my conquest, it's got "assembled in usa" on the eyebell, make of that what you will. Rick. To get an 'assembled in' status, they'd need nothing more than to be shipped to the US with, say, the turret caps off. ds1 is an impeccable info source; if he says he's seen them being made at the Meopta factory, then it'll be safe to bet your house that that's where they're made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
