how tough is it?
I have a Conquest 4.5-14 on an Ultimate Firearms BP Xpress muzzleloader and have repeatedly shot loads with 200 grs Pyrodex, and the scope has never needed any adjustment in 3 years. My son has a Conquest 4.5-14 on his Encore 270, and it has NEVER needed adjusting since it was mounted 5 years ago.
Tough? Yes.
On the other side of the coin, if you have $800-900 to spend, I know where a Swarovski A series 4-12 is for sale for $750. I have a A series 3-9 and LOVE it. I have several Conquests and prefer the Swarovski hands down.
