[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1029836, member: 34084"] I use the HDMR 3.5-21x50 for ballistic testing and its a great scope for the money, especially if you need the H59 reticle. I pushed a 30 lb rifle off a shooting bench and it landed on the focus knob. Except for a few scrapes the scope was not damaged. I've shot hundreds of 750-1,000 grain rounds with that scope and the mechanical adjustments still feel tight. But I caution anyone against drawing conclusions about other Bushnell models, based on experience with one particular model. Bushnell's product design practices and supply chain are Byzantine. Marketing staff and design engineers come and go, and the company doesn't seem to have consistent design standards. In the recent past they have condensed scope models of various origins into new tactical lines, with only a minor reticle, lens coating, cosmetic and/or turret pitch upgrade. Some models are above average optically, while others are mediocre. I have not been able to find much consistency between various models within a line. [/QUOTE]
