The Conquest also has more or less constant eye relief. You'll really notice this at full power settings.

If money matters, in my opinion at $369 from Doug the 3-9 Conquest is a clear (groan) winner in the value department. It's a heck of a scope.

The points of seperation I see are:

-the Leup is about an inch shorter, and a couple ounces lighter;

-the Leup has that awesome looong eye relief (ER) and huge eye box at low power settings;

-the Conq has much better ER at full power;

-the Conq adjustments track very, very well;

-the stock turrets on the Conq are completely usable as a low-profile turret. The stock Leup turret, not so much. But the Leup has the CDS available.

-the Leup has "bling" with the wide gold (oooh... gold) ring and gold medallion and nicer box and blankie and printed materials. Then again, guess who's paying for all that?

I've been forced by the economy to be price-concious lately and because of that, along with the excellent glass and tracking, my last 5 scopes have been Conquests. I wouldn't change a thing. Very pleased. That said on my lightweight rifles Leupold rules the day.


The CENTER will hold.
