OK then jim62, how about a new $399 3-9x40 Conquest vs. a $479 3.5-10 VX-3.

Still $80 cheaper and still the better value.

But I'll take the $369 Conquest with the identical warranty and save $110.

The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea.
I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.
