Skeeter...I gott the 3.5-10X44 Conquest last year and have been extremely happy with it so far. Handled the frigid temps way better than my buddies Bushnell 3200 & Remington scopes. I had a Leupold previous and was happy with it as well, but the Zeiss was the scope for me. As for getting one from Cabelas, when I tried to order one, they said they wouldn't because of our gun laws. I guess they didn't know if it was a "gun component" so they said they wouldn't do it at all. I tried a couple other US companies and some said they would others said they wouldn't. Good luck with that! If you are in Calgary, an alternative to SIR & Wholesale is Canadian Tire. There is only one store here that deals with hunting goods (other than the normal stuff they carry), they have a full selection of new & used guns and lots of supplies. I saw the Conquest there as well as the Leupolds and Burris. I can get you a price if you would like to know...let me know. JDinAB
