Didn't necessarily need another scope, but I didn't have a 1.8-5.5 Conquest and figured the price was too good to pass up.

Conquest is hard to beat IMO. A KX is probably better but I would choose a Conquest right now due to the warranty and resale aspects. If I had $650 and your gun........probably think about http://www.swfa.com/pc-9790-259-zeiss-3-9x40-conquest-rifle-scope.aspx
 
Doubt your interested (kinda low powered for a long range gun like yours)but there is a heck of a deal going on right now on Conquests in 1.8-5.5x38 and the fixed 4x32's .......both are for $299 right now !

I guess I'm the only one that likes these but I think the illuminated reticle BAC concept works to acquire a moving deer really well.

The optics on the Trijicons are indeed very good. I wouldn't vote on the triangle-tipped post as the best reticle for longer-range shooting, though I have killed prairie dogs out to around 550 yards with one. But Trijicon also offers a more coventional plex-type reticle with ranging dots, with the center of the plex crosshairs illuminated.

Must have been a few other orders as well.  Got an SWFA email back stating the 1.8x5.5 Conquest is on backorder.    However, for $299, I can wait.
