One of my favorites is the 1.8-5.5x38
Easy to get behind for young ones and pretty bright. My last one was slightly brighter than new one but new one is on an XBow with HHA Tetra rail so plenty good.
I wish I’d gotten the DL/Duralyte models when they came from Germany. The blue tint turned some off but it was optimized for low light euro hunting I had heard. The power ranges seemed right in line with larger objective but 2-6 ranges roughly. Hardly see now, like last Victory’s in 1.5-6x42 that liquidated cheap. When either come up they are a lot higher than new.
Conquests seem to be the same way lately commanding a premium over prior prices. Discontinued with demand resurgence does that. Take a look at CZ453 22s that could be had for $450 or less. CZ550s and 527s now too. 2-3x msrp or more.
