Help! Zeus or Pro?

[shawns]

Having a problem making final decision. I sold my Armasight Predator and in the process of selling my Insight CNVD-T clip-on.

So far I've narrowed it down to Zeus 640 3-24x75 ($6495) and Zeus PRO 640 2-16x50 ($6795). Only $300 difference. We mostly take shots 75-150 yards.

I also considered the Apollo but after using my insight clip-on I think I like the dedicated scope and I already have a MTM to scan with.

Any thought appreciated.

Thanks ,
Shawn

The Pro is much more weather protected, to me that alone would be worth the $300

 

[shawns]

Good point. Zeus is water proof but you are correct that the PRO is even more weather proof.

might want to look again, isn't the first one a 75 instead of 50?

both 30hz

I would get the 75 I think, but at your ranges either would be great

 

[shawns]

Yes. That was my typing mistake.

Shawn,

I have played with both the 3X/75mm and the 2X/42mm (actually 1.5X) and much prefer the 75mm lense, particularly for our Alabama humidity IMO.

 

[shawns]

That's what I'm heavily leaning towards. Thanks.

 

[FrankT]

I still would have to go PRO with this rain and humidity in NWFL and make do w the 50mm lens at your distances, I seldom can even see 200yds, 75-100 is more like it.

 

[shawns]

Decision decisions! Should of just kept my little 25mm Armasight Predator. But nooooooo, gotta go,bigger! Lol

 

[YellowHammer]

Wow, thats a big animal

 

[FrankT]

Yeah the Predator would have been great for me, wish I had known it was for sale.

FrankT you can buy my Insight CNVD-T that's in the classifieds. Cut you a deal! Gotta free up some funds for this new one.

There is not a 75mm pro only 50mm and 100mm. The 75mm is a great scope and one of my favorites. You may want to call Aaron at Night Combat Solutions he can usually beat any price on Armasight stuff.

 

[shawns]

That's right. The standard Zeus 664 3-24x75 is what I had my mind set on. Just started having second thoughts once I started comparing the Zeus Pro 50mm. Now I'm not sure at all! Lol

Yeah lots more than I can afford, thanks though

I noticed some pics of the standard Zeus 640 3-24x75 show it with a single QD lever mount and some with a double lever QD mount. What does the current one come with?

 

[YellowHammer]

Double QD mount

 

[DaveABQ]

I'd go with the standard 75mm.

I bought a 75mm from NCS and could not be happier. The scope is amazing. It's given me a scary level of confidence, to the point where I make people call me Dueno de........then they look up what Dueno de means and ask me .......owner of what........and I say...... El noche.

I was debating the same thing standard 3x 640 75mm or pro 2x 640 50mm. I went with the standard 75m. The waterproofing of the pro is really attractive, but the standard is really pretty durable and water resistant. I don't like hunting in driving rain with all this expensive gear anyway so I think the standard will be fine.

+1 for Aaron at Night Combat Solutions. He has the best prices I could find.
