Great choice is also the Zeiss. Step up from the Lupy and about inline with the Swaro.

Depends on which model Zeiss and which Swarovski it is.

the z3 swaro has same glass as z6. you can get some deals on the 3x9 swaros, id go with that one over the ones you mentioned. about the only thing i like about the higher powered scopes is being able to see my shots at the range.

The conquest is not in the same league as the Swarovski, a jump in the Zeiss lineup is needed to even the playing field.

I would go with Leupold because it has the highest magnification and I believe the glass will have very little real-world discernable difference among those three.

What would you pick
Zeiss 3.5-10x44
swarovski 3-9x36
Leupold vx-r 4-12x40 All three are going to be great. Swarovski is the lightest if weight is a concern. Lowlight preformance is going to go to Zeiss in this category. Illumination is hands down the VX-R. Better question for the OP, what do you use now? What are you looking for in a scope? And what & where do you hunt?

All quality scopes that you can’t go wrong with – put I would get the Leopold based on my customer service experience.
I was hunting aoudad in the Del Rio area and took a few nasty falls on my way down some mountain. My Leopold 3x9 took the worst of it with crushed elevation and windage housings, bent metal on the front objective, and deep gouges all over.
I sent it to Leopold to see if it could be repaired. They sent it back in like new condition and at no charge. I’m sure that other manufactures offer great service as well, but Leopold earned my loyalty that day.

Go try the Leupold turrets at a store. I don't like mine.
Love the glass though.
