I'd buy quality first over a lot of X's. A 9X or 10X scope is adequate and 50mm scopes are generally lower quality than 40mm scopes in the same price range. I cannot think of a good reason to use a 50mm scope.

There are a lot of very good 3-9X40 and 2.5-10X40 scopes out there under $500 that will be far better optically than what you are considering. Of course they don't have the tactical look.

Zeiss recently replaced the Conquest with this model. You might still be able to find a Conquest for around $300
