    I use a VXII on my '06. I like it. I destroyed a Vortex Diamondback on a light 375 with max loads, but that is asking a lot of a $400 scope. Yes, it was replaced.

    I just found another Conquest 3-9X40 MC, Dewey, brand new in the box.

    For the price point, those were amazing optics. I snatched it up quickly, as a mate to the one I bought from Nechako 5 or 6 years ago.

    Sad day when Zeiss discontinued them and moved on to other models.

    Did you, in your extensive knowledge and consequent "wisdom" EVER stop to THINK that many of we "old" shooter-hunters may actually have owned, used and thus learned what we find "best".

    My "daddy" did NOT teach me shooting as he did not shoot, own guns and I learned from several genuine experts and working professionals, i.e. Inspector Joe Guillbault, BCF&W who was the world champ. at Bisley in the late 1960s. So, your comment is offensive and just ludicrous.

    I currently own about 35 rifles, have Zeiss, both W.German, and Conquest, Swarovski, Leupold, B&L, Meopta, and have had many other makes over some 50 years. I learned by DOING and that is how we "old" shooters do things......I recommend that you follow suit.
    don't get your panties in a bunch, my comments were directed at the guys insinuating that Vortex was garbage chinese crap. I have in the last few years spent a bit of coin on optics, and that was not before investing a ton of my time doing research. Vortex are the new kids on the block and people are generally not interested in change, and thus they slam what they don't know and find silly reasons like the offered warranty as justification for such. That being said I only own 1 vortex scope and its a lower end model, but I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one of the better reviewed/tested/trusted models if I was buying optics in that price range. Yeah I said panties...Im just kidding btw
