If price was no object I'd look at glass from Swarovski, Zeiss, S&B and the Nightforce choices maybe the vx6, and with antelope on the menu probably go with 14+ on the top end as long as I could have 4 or less at the bottom.

I've used a 3-9 Conquest for several years on mine and haven't felt limited but the extra magnification doesn't hurt anything and comes in handy occasionally determining if a bull is legal or if a branch is in your way.

I've gone to the Z6&800 reticles lately and while they aren't as appealing as a simple X for close stuff they are very useful and fast to targets over 400 yards. Personal preference in glass and reticle probably vary too much for a single best choice.
