The Terra is a huge disappointment, not worthy of the Zeiss name.

I would not be comparing a Terra to a $629 Leupold scope either (I am assuming VX3 or better?). Vx1 or 2 would be a better comparison. Leupold would be my choice though.

Of those two the leupold all the way. I've tried two of the zeiss Terra's and they're junk. Thought maybe the first one was bad one so I tried a second and nope same thing. Only leupold I've ever been disappointed in was rifleman series that came on a used gun I bought. It got sent down the road quick.

I mounted a Terra on a buddies 06. Was very underwhelmed. Would take a leupy, Nikon, or Burris of equal value any day over the Terra.
