[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2384903, member: 120719"] You listed some great options, but I can pass along first hand that some of them listed might not handle repeated magnum recoil or getting bounced around on back roads or getting accidentally dropped a few times without going wonkey. I know how the optics threads can go, so I'm hesitant to list names of scopes I've had fail because sometimes people identify way too much with brands they use and, by extension, have trouble accepting that their pet optic didn't prove to be rugged or reliable for someone else. But I will share the scopes I haven't had tracking or reliability issues with: SWFA, NF, Bushnell Elite and Elite tactical, Sightron (All of mine are Japan, so can't speak to the Philipino), USA Built Burris (Haven't tried the Philipino or Chinese offerings), Weaver (Japan offerings) Meopta (including early Ziess conquests and Cabela's Instinct). As I tried and had good luck with certain offerings and companies, I've bought more of them instead of maybe trying something else due to a bad experience, so I haven't been trying some of the newer offerings from some of the newish companies. As usual, it's one man's experience, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
