[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2975928, member: 42494"] Why not start a poll to see how many times members have dropped or banged their rifles during a hunt and had their zeros shift? It's only happened twice in my 65 years of hunting. I've used Tasco, Weaver Shepherd, Leupold, Vortex, Bushnel, Revic, etc. scopes and only lost my zero twice. You have to wonder if some of these guys don't use their rifles to clear brush away or as a climbing stick while hunting. I also agree a sample size of one means nothing except how one scope out of the thousands sold performed. I believe Leupold, Vortex, etc. perform extensive shock tests during development and during production. I guess maybe they are all liars? I also think the new trend to constantly dial the turrets up and down for range adds weakness to modern scopes since the internals must be made loose enough to move constantly and smoothly. Using holdover reticles without "target turrets" instead of dialing would most probably allow manufacturers to design more robust scopes for those who like to rough handle their firearms. Also add the newest trend/demand to make new scopes lighter and lighter. Something has to be compromised during the development to meet these new demands. [/QUOTE]
