[QUOTE="Broz, post: 673791, member: 7503"] Both the Conquest and the NXS will work to 800 yards. I am going to assume you will be dialing turrets. A quick run of the numbers for an average rig, a high BC bullet to fight wind shows you will need 15 to 17 moa of elevation with a 200 yard zero. The conquest has a total of 45 if you mount it with zero cant bases that will get you 22.5 moa in a perfect world. So you should get to 1000 with that. But like mentioned before if you are going to crank turrets each time you hunt in my opinion the best choice is a NXS. If you don't want the weight of the NXS the Conquest will indeed do the job. If you are sure you will never take the rifle past 1000 and you can live with the cheaper feeling turrets the Conquest is a value. But if you think you might advance into longer shooting I would spring for the NXS. They both hold value well. But one thing is for sure, a used NXS will fetch close to new cost. Especially when new supplies are low. So for sure the investment is a safe one. My opinion is in your case it comes down to personal choice and future shooting plans. Jeff [/QUOTE]
