Large scopes, reportedly, have more mass, thus more stuff to shake loose with big boomers. The .375 H&H isn't that big a boomer and these Victory scopes seem to hold together pretty well.

The straight tube Leupolds are pretty tough, the 1.5-5x20 is a classic for this application.

The 42mm objective plus alpha glass quality gives the Victory a leg up on dim light shooting, like big cats over bait.

That's why one should purchase large scopes that are made to withstand substantial recoil.

It may be hard to put together a list, best to worse, on large scopes withstanding recoil, as most reports are anecdotal, not statistical based on adequate numbers.

I would appreciate input from those who have had failures and with which scopes.

I know fixed power scopes are tough, less stuff to go wrong, but everyone doesn't use fixed power; a lot of shooters prefer variables.

So, what are the best choices, big scopes on big boomers...
