I am looking for a new scope to sit on top of a 7mm Mag.
I am considering either the zeiss conquest 3-9x40 or the Leupold FX3 6x42. On my other variable scopes - 6x is about where i always end up - which is why I am considering the fixed mag scope.
I know the rifle is capable of more - but my skills and comfort would put my longest shots at around 200-250 yrds
I appreciate any opinions and feedback.

I carry a gun because I'm too young to die, and too old to take a whoopin!

I was able to view both at the same time and the zeiss clearly had the better optics. I put the Zeiss on my 7 mag.
