Has anyone had any experience with this scope? Is it an older Diavari? How would you rate its optics compared to the current Zeiss offerings?

Oops. I believe the "Z" in the listing is in error. I think I was asking about a model listing that does not exist. If I am correct and there is no Diavari Z line of Zeiss scopes, then I assume it is a Victory Diavari and not a Z3 Conquest nor one of the new Duralyt scopes. Correct???

A Z3 is a Swarovski model not Zeiss.

Yes Zeiss made a Diavari Z series of rifle scopes.This was the model prior to the V series.There was a 3-12x56 with tht T* coatings.A very good scope.A little heavier than the V series and almost as good optically.

There was also the Zeiss Z series that had the lesser quality (MC) coatings.These models have MC labeled on the scopes. It would read for example; Diavari Z 3-12x56 MC.This scope is equivalant to Zeiss Conquest and has the exact same coatings as todays Conquest.I had some of these same questions myself and contacted Zeiss Optics;hence the info.
