[QUOTE="davidu, post: 2097601, member: 115072"] To the OP, I’ve gone through the same process of deciding on which scopes to purchase over the last 3 years. The problem making recommendations is there are personal preferences that can dictate your final choice. What is important to me may not mean a rats rear to you. I hesitate to even suggest a few scopes. But you asked a question about scope reliability during a hunt that took years to acquire points and price. Dialing tactical scopes changes everything. As many folks here I have owned multiple BDC type zero and forget scopes over the years. For me, Leupold was the king. My optic preferences/choices changed after suffering an acute attack of PD hunting addiction. I’ve purchased a Leupold vx5hd, Vortex Viper PSTgen2, three Zeiss v6’s and two NF ATACR’s all SFP MOA. The Vortex was the only one I sent back. Vortex said I put the tube in a bind @15in/lb using blue Loctite. Each scope has a particular job based on rifle caliber and distance to target. They suffer no abuse from gun case to bench. None of them are on heavy recoiling rifles The Zeiss v6’s 5-30x are lightweight and have excellent glass.They are SFP only. Their reticle is a tad thick for shooting PD’s past 800 yards, but would be fine for large game hunting. They all track well on tall target tests. I’ve not tested their durability by beating on them. IMHO, the Zeiss v6 would be my choice. [/QUOTE]
