Does anybody have experience with zeiss Terra scopes? I was looking at getting 2x7x32 for my 375h&h, and my 12awg slug gun, but not sure about quality, especially for higher recoiled guns.
 
I have a couple of them. They are decent quality, value priced scopes. The glass is made in Austria and they‘re assembled in China. I have used one on my 375 with no issues. Honestly, I think Leupold VX3s are a better scope, for just a bit more $$.
 
I've been happy with two I have on some of my backup rifles. For the money, I think you get a quality, mid level optic.

'Had a Leuopold 1.75-6x on my .416 (1-hole groups) and then put it on my Son's .375 (<1" consistently with factory ammo) when I got the Trijicon 1-6x. 'Looked through a friend's Zeiss Terra binos during deer season (they seemed better than most $500ish models,) but once I started comparing all available options at Euro Optic, 'settled on Blaser's Primus model (demo, $1K off). 'Have no idea who makes 'em, but they are phenomenal! Watch out for the Monkey Pox in the box!!!

Ive got a 2-7x on a 35 Whelen and a 3-9x on a .375 H&H..

They arent comparable to the Conquest or other Zeiss lines.. but for the money, they arent a bad optic at all.. They certainly can take a beating, hold zero well, etc.. you just arent going to get the same sort of clarity, light gathering, etc that you are going to get from Zeiss' higher end options..

I'd put them on par with low to mid level leupold or mid level Vortex options..
 
I also considered fixed power scope, (4power) especially for my slug gun, but those are hard to come by.
I'll look into low power variable Leopolds, and meopta too.
Thank you everyone for sharing your opinions.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
