[QUOTE="zupatun, post: 490362, member: 3533"] FWIW I looked at practically every LR scope manufacturer of note at Shot Show this year. Zeiss, Swaro, Leica, Leupold, Nightforce, Sightron, Schmidt and Bender, Premier, Horus Vision, Weaver, Burris, and more. The Conquest has okay optics. Lots of chromatic abberation and edge to edge clarity is good. Overall it's not a bad scope optically. I imagine that the internals are Zeiss quality and will do the job admirably. The Trijicon scope has better glass, less chromatic abberation. I think the internals will be excellent as well and will also do the job admirably. I think you get an illuminated reticle with the Trijicon, if you can get a lighted reticle with the Conquest as well--but I think IIRC the Trijicon reticle looks better. Both scopes are good. That's where the quality stops at Trijicon. If you buy the next level of Zeiss, Diavari you get some of the best optics offered...clarity, aberration etc...but you get what you pay for. For Conquest vs. Trijicon I pick the Trijicon. Matt [/QUOTE]
