Just be aware that the turrets are in Moa and your reticle would be in mil. If you're using the reticle for measuring shot correction or an unknown distance target you'll have to convert the measurements before you dial. I find 90% of shooters don't know what mil or Moa mean so this might not be of importance to you. However if you're going to use the reticle just for hold over then no big deal. Just remember your dope in mil. Also the reticle only has single mil incrents with no half mil marker. Again probably not a big deal to you but it's worth mentioning.

For $50 more you can get into a Vortex PST that will have more internal adjustment, zero stop, and a matching turret/reticle configuration based in either mil or Moa. Oh and an illuminated reticle is standard in the PST series as well.

Optically the Conquest is the superior product. Just lacks a few features that shooters these days are looking for. I think the vortex is the better package for a shooter.

The Burris MTAC 6.5-20 is also another good example of a matching turret/reticle system. They use the gen2 mil dot reticle that incorprrates mil and half mil markers.

Good info for the Real world. Mine is a-not-hunted with yet,Conquest 3-9x40-zplex. Optics are great! Went to
Castine Center Pelican park F(g)unshow. Checked out a used Daviari -$1500 used. nice but Conquest line is
more affordable
PST IS Tempting. Illuminated to top off Matching turret/reticle adjustment. Cant go wrong with Zeiss. .
