Zeiss Conquest V6 Parallax

[General RE LEE]

Anyone else find that the parallax knob on their Conquest V6 doesn’t completely remove parallax? I can still move my head side to side when the knob is all the way to infinity and get a little reticle movement. My Leupold’s completely correct parallax when I check.

The Zeiss tracks nicely, the glass is superb and I shoot well with it.

Is this not uncommon with some scopes? I have 2 Zeiss Conquest V6s and they both do this.

Funny I just send my V6 in 2 days ago for the same issue!!!! The parallax adjustment does nothing!!!! Otherwise the scope is dead on out to 400 yards and returns to zero with no issues. The 2 V4's we have adjust perfectly???????

It reduces the amount of movement on mine but I can’t eliminate it.

Is it going to end up going back to Germany?

Does yours not focus the target?

My v4 4-16 does the exact same thing. I can never get it fully focused no matter the range. Even when I crank the parallax back and forth it doesn't even look like the image changes much. Seems like this is a common problem with these scopes.

It might be getting a trip back to zeiss.

No matter how I turn it it doesn't come completely into focus. It was really noticeable when looking at long range, always seems just a bit out.

You send it to the warranty center in Hebron, KY which is right by the Cincinnati airport. I sent a V4 in that would not correct windage. Had a new scope sent to me within about a week!

Good thing it's not hunting season. Hope they can fix.

I'll update as soon as I hear something. Just got the notice yesterday that they received the scope.

Awesome! Hey I will send mine back.

Yep that's why I bought the V4 in 3-12x56.
No parallax adj, so I don't worry about it. Just send it!

I took time behind mine this afternoon. I compared it to my VX5HD. I think both scopes struggle a bit to really sharpen the image at high magnification. I believe variable power scopes at this price point are not going to have the same sharpness at 15-18x as they do at 3-4x. I can get my parallax mostly adjusted out but I have to put it on infinity starting at about 500 yards.

My Burris Veracity's 5x25 and 4x20 will adjust very clear and they are no way as good of glass or near the price of the V6's.

A quick follow up. I went into a deep dive over on the Hide about proper focusing of the reticle. I put my parallax on infinity and set magnification to 18x. I took my time looking at and looking away from the reticle against a blank wall. It turns out my reticle was slightly out of focus. I tested the scope by viewing distant objects and turns out there isn’t a problem with the parallax or focus. My eye piece needed a slight adjustment.

Hmmm Let's see what they say. If they says its good I'll try that.
