Another vote for the Zeiss Conquest. I personally like the 4.5-14x44mm one I have on my 7mm but I hunt a lot in open country (sage and sand) and here in WA you can shoot only spike elk during the normal season (without a special drawing permit) so it's friggin' hard to see the difference between a spike and a 2-pt bull at 300+ yards. Cost me an elk 2 years ago because my Nikon 3-9x40 couldn't pick up the bull (my binos were cheap too). Now I have that scope and some Zeiss 10x30 glasses and my eyes are so much happier with them. Well worth the money and if I could have afforded better I'd gone there (those two items alone almost cost me my marriage as it is!). Had to placate the wife with a pair of Diafun 10x30's (thankfully she hunts too and is mostly understanding).
