[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2976162, member: 115299"] 40 years, got a safe full! Probably owned not one or two but 200 or more guns and scopes dropped several including one from a tree stand and another off a concrete shooting bench on to a concrete floor, had another, that I can remember fall, fall from a table in the kitchen. None of the afore mentioned scopes lost there zero, though the one that fell from the bench received a rather nice beauty mark. As state earlier I can only remember 4 or five that lost there zero and they all had mechanical failures. As long as they were in working order they held. Never had one lose it in the safe collecting dust. Fallen hunting more than I can remember but never enough to damage a gun. I think this argument is factious at best. And for the record I do most of my shooting when not hunting beyond 1000 yards. Inside of that is usually a give me on an moa target, group sizes are usually in the half moa range. Your form matters a whole lot more than your equipment. I own, have owned and shoot NF, SB, Athlon, Zeiss, Leupold, IOR Valdada, etc, no secret I like S&B and Leupold for hunting. All of the above have served me well. I would say my scope failure rate over my lifetime is about 4%?. If you are losing zero in the closet??? You need to buy better rings. We all want our stuff to work and again most of it does for it intended purpose. I think this horse has been about bet to death. But don’t let those with real world experience stand in your way. Their is some crap out their no doubt. But not near as much as this post would have us believe, my experience not just my opinion says differently. [/QUOTE]
