Get a Kahles off the Sample List and you'll have the best for the $$.

Swaro AV ain't cheap, but it is worth every penny!

another vote for the Kahles CL.  I have 2 and they are great!  I don't have a Swaro AV Yet, but really want one.  I have a Conquest too, and its a good scope.  I doubt you'd be disappointed if you got it.
take em!

All the scopes you have listed above would make great hunting scopes, just depends on how much you want to spend.  I still believe the soundest deals are in the $400-$500, sure the Swaro and Kahles are better scopes optically, but under normal hunting conditions if you can't get it done with a VX-3 or Conquest, your unlikely to get it done with the Swaro.

I got to agree with the last post ! I have a Swaro. PV 3-12X50, Kahles Helia C 3-12X56, and a Conquest 4.5-14x44 ! The Kahles is the best in low light but I would be hard pressed to say it is "way" better !
 
As a matter of fact I am seriously considering selling my Swaro and Kahles and buying 2 more Conquest 4.5-14x44 . I like the lower mounting of the 44mm , I like the power range, I like the adjustable objective, and I like the target turrets . I would only be giving up a little IMO for gaining some of those positives ! I think.....from what I have owned (and I also had a Zeiss Diavari 3-9x42 )that the Conquest is the best scope for the money I have seen. I would probably go for the best deal of those you listed. Chris has a Conquest 3-9x40 with the RZ 600 reticule for $459 on the samplelist ........might want to check that one out !!
