I have a 3x9x42 and it seems I only hunt woods. It has served me well. Recently took a buck at a bait site 50 yards away just before dark that I had no idea was even there until I made one final pass with the scope. I've got it on a heavy barrel wthby vanguard and the set up has been producing .5" groups at the bench. Paid $400 for mine when they first came out, which seems to be what I generally pay for a scope. I also have the conquest, I can't tell the difference between the two, but if it says Zeiss on the box I'll try it at least once.
