[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 52057, member: 8947"] S1, great data. Nice to know that even the best still need to "hold'em and squeez'em" and the best also miss. Any idea what type of tasks are being asked of the equipment? I have never participated in a tactical event but have read many times about broken this and that. Why are the shooters treating their equipment so rough? I always thought that the equipment takes priority over the body, so a "pro" would be more likely to suffer a flesh wound then damage their rifle. I am sure that these shooters are using the best equipment that their agencies or country can provide. What type of scope failures are they experiencing? I thought Luppies and others of that class were pretty much indestructible. Oh well, if given enough will, anything can be broken. Makes you wonder. Yes, optics are the most important part of your rifle. You can't hit what you can't see, and you will not try if you have no confidence in your adjustments. Scopes have to be reliable and repeatable. They do not necessarily have to cost a fortune. I am guessing if the Bushnell Elite and Tasco super sniper are an indication, the scope industry is going to start producing good quality and affordable scopes with mil dot reticles and plenty of adjustment.
