One thing I noticed about the new 2-10 HD5 specs is that the eye relief is 90mm (3.54"). I think the best of the old Conquest MC scopes was the 3.5-10x44 which had 3.5" eye relief, which I found to be much more comfortable and forgiving than the 4" eye relief of the highly regarded 3-9x40 Conquest.
disclaimer: This comparison of eye relief specs is meaningless without actual comparison of the scopes. The eyebox will be different than on the older Zeiss, regardless.
