My Zeiss Conquest Binoculars suck.  I bought a nice “looking” Zeiss Conquest 12×45 binoculars from a optics auctions. The binoculars look spectacular, but the image quality in the left tube is out of focus. Kind of like if you were wearing reading glasses with huge diopter. The right tube is perfectly fine. The tubes will not focus together, nor diopter adjustment do improve image in the left tube. The image looks same for both eyes (if I look with one eye at a time). So when I look through both tubes and align them together, I still can see distant objects but I have discomfort, clearly because of out-of focus or whatever in left tube. I emailed and called Zeiss, left a message but no reply. What can be wrong or can I do anything to fix my new hunting binoculars?

Thanks  all and I am leaning towards the M70 Featherweight in 7mm/08. But if any hunters on this blog have any suggestion or advice it will be well received.

Kind regards,

Jeff

It looks like I’ll finally get to hunt my favorite big game. I will be going Moose hunting this year. Also, I have already confirmed a caribou/wolf package combo type hunt. My 300. wsm will obviously be used for the moose hunt and I was wondering I should bring/use the 270. win for the wolf and caribou or just use the 300.wsm?. The 270. win in theory id good enough because I’ve used it on moose in the past, but concerned the using it for predator hunting because the wolf hunt probably will be at a distance . I am more then certain the 270. win is a good long range gun but a wolf is really strong and at long range I don’t know if the 270 will do. The 300. wsm is a good long range gun as well. Which one.
