To my eyes, which are a little different to begin with I give the nod to the Zeiss. Nothing wrong with the other two, and they are very close behind it, but in the end I find the Conquest to be a tick better. I want a Sightron just to play with the HHR reticle though.

I honestly feel the Sightron S2 Big Sky is slightly better than the 4200 and a tie opticly with the Zeiss Conquest.

Would  I lose anything to the Conquest if I got the Sightron 4.5x14x42 with HHR reticle?
Plus  I can get 50.00 back on the Sightron

I think you are giving up in the reticle dept. but optically you won't miss a shot because you got the sightron instead of a Conquest.

The HHR from Sightron is similar to the LR reticle from Leupold in which I really like both.

I have a VXII 2-7X32 with LR Dots

I also have a 3-9X42 Big Sky with the HHR reticle and both very nice.
