I have a 3-12x44 I like a lot. Also have 2 Conquest DL’s in which was the direct predecessor of the V4 on 2 of my favorite rifles and I really like them as well. None have exposed turrets as I am mostly a set and firgetmkind of guy. 1 is illuminated 1 is not. I’m currently contemplating a V4 in 3-12x56 for a rifle I am currently in need of a scope for. You won’t go wrong with them, especially if you can get a deal on one from RedHawk rifles.
