Interesting. I bought 2 Conquest 3-9's in the bargain frenzies as they were being phased out. To me and my son they were the most overhyped crap we'd ever tried. The critical eye relief and black ring were deal killers. Sold them both to 'fans' and actually made money for lunch.
Last week, a bud called to ask that I mount a Terra on his daughter's .243....slay me, but 4 of 5 of us preferred the eye box to the Conquest.
I'd think that anyone saying a Conquest ain't worth the money ain't very picky on optics....
