The glass in the Conquest's I had was really good, outstanding considering the price point. That 4.5-14 I had was one a guy should never sell.
I have since gone to a 4-16 S&B PMII on a varmint rifle intended for 3/4 mile marmots. Is it worth the 3+ cost of the top end Conquest? It is to me because the turret function is absolutely spot on, contrast and resolution are as good as it gets, bar none.
The Nightforce I am now using on my medium range big game rifle also has turrets that are totally accurate and reliable, with good glass.
Perhaps these scopes aren't doing anything the big new Conquest couldn't do... if it not only tracks right, but .25 MOA clicks mean precisely .25MOA, but with the brands mentioned, I felt confident I would have scopes that I could count on to be that good, and they surely are.
Marmots at 1400 yards with 16 power magnification? There are precious few scopes out there that have that kind of glass... and they are all highest dollar scopes.
