Mule Deer, this is a great post with lots of detail. It all makes sense to me, even though I have never had a scope fail. I generally use fairly small/light variables on harder kicking rifles and don't twist dials on hunting rifle scopes so perhaps that's why I've been lucky so far. But I do take backup scopes on expensive hunts to remote places just in case.
