Even though my new Leupold VX-2 3-9 is due to arrive tomorrow, I also nabbed one of these Conquests. Kind of reminds me of my Sako A-7 in .243 that I got at Cabelas a couple years ago for $599. Too good a deal to pass up. Once the Zeiss arrives, I will compare them side by side and decide which one goes on the new Model 70 Ultimate Shadow in .270 WSM. Any bets?
