[QUOTE="cooperjd, post: 2957476, member: 116132"] The reality is also that even though this is LRH, the huge majority of hunters shoot their rifle a couple times a year, sit in a treestand a few times a year, and maybe kill a deer or two at 100 yards, where they will never notice a 1moa shift anyway. And, if your scope lasts 10 years before it has a failure, well then you had a great scope for a long time. IMO the tests are there to shed light on the fact that our optics for the most part can and will fail at some point, so make the best purchasing decision you can based on these small sample sizes of data. For me i want a scope i can take off the rifle, throw across a parking lot, put back on and it'll work. Not everyone wants that i guess. Most of my hard backpack hunting is with a bow, so my cams and limbs have way more dings than my rifles do. But I have taken some nasty spills, one time i took a chip out of my muzzle i hit a rock so hard. dang root i couldnt' see down in the snow... luckily i had a piece of paper with me and made a makeshift target and checked zero. i was a bit off. shot a buck at 425y a few days later, good thing i was able to check! I don't really know anything about PRS/NRL matches...but do you get sighters? So could you be making small adjustments all the time so you wouldn't really notice a small shift or if you do you correct immediately? Only a catastrophic failure would pop up? I really don't know there. [/QUOTE]
