The Conquests are somewhat larger and heavier than similar magnification Leupolds. When the 'larger' shows up most is in the diameter of the eyepiece.
The bolt handle comes close to the eye piece on a pre 64 M70. Even then its a great scope.
Leupold is a super company but their scopes are of an older design. The Conquests have better resolution and reticules that don't fade to incoming light.
Since I got my first Conquest i stopped buying Leupolds. Now I have 5 of them.
The best deals around on Zeiss is at Cameraland.
