I have a zeiss conquest 4.5-14X44 and it is the best scope I own as far as glass quality. You can really tell a difference over my other scopes. I own several leupold mark 4's and VX-3's, a nightforce, Swarovski AV's, burris black diamond and X-treme Tactical. All are very good, but I like the zeiss the best!
I am certain you could hunt at night with the zeiss and 56mm objective!
