I looked at a Conquest -once- at a Gander Mt.I didnt like the reflective white( Aluminum, I believe) ring you can see inside the scope.I dont believe Leupold "fixed" anything other than adding the new twilight sysytem and index.But I could be wrong.Keep in mind - if some one gave me a 30mm European scope - I would not trash it.I like my Leupolds,but I aint totally stupid either.
