Never owned a Conquest, but my 30mm 1.5-6x42 Diavari VM/V is my all time favorite whitetail scope. The low light gathering of that scope looks like someone is standing behind you with a spotlight and that one is only a 42mm. The only thing that I wish it had is 1/4" equivalent adjustments instead of one cm .394" adjustments, but I'm a set it and forget it guy, so it works for me.
