What we are discussing is infant mortality failures.
IIRC I saw somewhere that Euro alphas were supposed to be good for 1500 rounds from something like a 375.
I have always felt good about my high end scopes once they got past 100 rounds, and that's smaller stuff than a 375. Same with the Leupies. Cheap scopes I expect to fail earlier all the way around. If they get past 50 rounds I figure they have a good chance to make a coupe hundred, but I don't expect much more than that. The higher end Nikon/etc I have no real good feel for life expectancy, some like the Monarch Gold seem to be built like S&Bs, heavy as a tank, which makes me think internally they might be more robust.
Half of the scopes that make it past infant mortality will go a long way past and half of them will likely never fail the original owner.
