I left out the scope part. I have for many years been a Leupold fan. I also own bushnell elites, nikon monarchs, & zeiss conquests. I have moved to the Zeiss Conquest camp. My most recent acquisition was a 4.5-14X44 & I love this scope. The adjustments are accurate and repeatable. I do believe the glass in the conquest to be better than the Leupold VX-III scopes that are out today. However, if you go with the Leupold you will have an excellent scope. I just now favor the Zeiss.
