[QUOTE="wildcat338, post: 112666, member: 4807"] WOW! I was surprised to see this as I thought I was the only unlucky one. A couple of months ago I bought a 2.5x10x56 from a gunsmith here NIB. I put it on my 338 Lapua and was really happy with it until about the 60 round mark when I noticed a crack while looking thru the scope after firing. Sent it back and Val told me that he didnt recommend a scope with a larger than 50 objective for the bigger calibers so I got a 4x14x50. I*n the mean time my father in law bought an older model 4x14x50 which lasted less than 20 rounds on his 338-378 wby it went blurry as stated by others. So I sent this one back and Val told me this was a recalled model and that it had a history of that happening so I ordered another 4x14x50 for my father in law as well and just paid the difference in cost. Scopes arrived few weeks ago put it on the 338's and headed to the range as were set to leave for Africa the end of May. After about 25-30 rounds thru the 338-378 the scope went blurry mind you this is 2 days before we leave for Africa so my father in law is very upset so he just put on his old nightforce varminter scope and went to Africa with that. The one on my Lapua is still holding up but I have only put less than 40 rounds thru the rifle with this scope so I hope it keeps holding i'll keep my fingers crossed.
