Subject: ZEISS CONQUEST BIG F.....ISSUE :(

I wonder what Zeiss's actual return rate is and what age most of the returned scopes are? I can certainly understand being upset by a ruined hunt. I am about to buy my 5th Zeiss in 20 years and I have never had one fail. However, I never go on a serious hunting trip with just one rifle and scope.

Mechanical things do fail and scopes are a highly technologically based and complicated piece of equipment. I am in no way minimizing failure and the effects and frustration of ruined hunting trips but you make a decision and hope that the numbers protect you. We are fallible beings.
I worked in a medical device plant for many years and our failure rate on our devices had been refined to 1 part in 30 million failure rate but that still is little consolation to that one person who suffers from our failure.
