Well....after a lot of research, discussion, contemplating back and forth, I finally went ahead and ordered the 4-16x42 Nikon Monarch with the Nikoplex reticle.
I did really like the Zeiss but could not fork up the extra $ it was going to take to get it. Maybe next year I will put this Nikon on my .270 and get the Conquest for the .300 WM.
Thanks for the advice,
Trent
