[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2046131, member: 95733"] I also own no less than 5 Leupolds. All sit atop currently or at one time or another scope killing shoulder ponding busing/blackening tooth loosening (338wm, 300wsm, 300wm, 7mmstw, magnum rifles), 12ga 3.5" magnum turkey guns (now you're taking some FORREAL recoil), 12 ga slug guns, and a inline smokeless ML with recoil equal to a 375 H&H. I also own Bushnell Elite 4200's, and WGS. All have served me superbly. BUUUUUUT none are of a tactical design all are set and for get scopes. I did use my 4.5-14 WGS to do some dialing out to 500 yards and it worked quite surprisingly well. As far as durability. I once dropped my NEF 920 Tracker a heavy bull barreled single shot 12ga slug gun that weighs at if not over 10lbs that first landed on the shooting bench dead on the scope, as i tired desperately to grab it I succeeded in slapping it away and it again landed on the concrete floor at the shooting range again mostly on the Vari-XII that sat on it putting more than a few dents and scratches on the both the scope and the gun while simultaneously loosing into the air an immeasurable amount of obscenities' from yours truly. That scope held zero then and for many 100's of additional 12ga magnum slug and turkey rounds since that day. I am approaching this with as open a mind as I can. This scope will be my first with turrets designed and intended to be dialed for W&E. [/QUOTE]
