Re: Go for Sightron SIII or Vortex PST.
I love it! although it's my first scope, and it's on my first rifle i bought a month ago. I've looked through Nikon Monarchs and Zeiss Conquests before I made my decision. Sightron's glass is better than the Monarch and the Conquest IMHO. With both Nikon and and Zeiss Conquest, image starts to blur up when you get to max magnification, at least the ones I saw at Cabela's. With the Sightron, image was just as clear on 24x compared to 6x. Sure it doesn't have an illuminated reticle, FFP or mil/mil (moa/moa) but for my needs, I didn't think I'd need it. It would be nice but my budget just won't allow it and I couldn't wait for the Vortex PST's to come out. I do however like the turrets of the Zeiss Conquest, firmer knobs/clicks than Sightron but I'm happy with Sightron's turrets.
I'm mainly shooting paper and doing some hunting. I'm not LEO or military, just picking up a new hobby. I was more concerned about high quality glass which Sightron so far has exceeded my expectations. I'm still learning and reading tons of great info on the FAQs here. Good luck!
