Conquest Gavia 85 Spotting Scope with 30-60x Eyepiece
Price History
90-day low $1999.99Overview
The Conquest Gavia 85 is the entry point to true European alpha glass without stepping up to a Swarovski ATX price. Zeiss builds it in Japan with an HD lens system, T* multicoatings, and the LotuTec hydrophobic exterior coating that sheds rain and snow off the objective. The 30-60x eyepiece starts higher than the 20x floor most hunters glass at, so the Gavia rewards a shooter who spends most of the session picking apart distant country at magnification rather than scanning wide. Its standout number is a 10.8 ft close focus, by far the shortest here, which makes it genuinely useful for insects, birds, and fine detail when it is not on the mountain. At 60 oz it undercuts the heavier Leupold SX-4 and sits close to the Razor.
Key Features
- Zeiss HD lens system with T* fully multi-coated optics
- LotuTec hydrophobic exterior coating on exposed glass
- Dual-speed focus for fast acquisition and fine detail
- 30-60x eyepiece geared toward high-magnification glassing
- Nitrogen filled, waterproof and fogproof
- Zeiss fully transferable limited lifetime warranty
Pros
- +European-tier color and contrast for well under alpha ATX money
- +Class-leading 10.8 ft close focus adds real off-mountain versatility
- +LotuTec coating keeps the objective clear in rain and snow
- +Lighter than the 78 oz Leupold SX-4 despite the same 85mm objective
Cons
- −30x magnification floor gives a narrower field than 20x scopes for fast scanning
- −Still a $2,000 buy that most hunters will find hard to justify over a Razor
