Yes they will survive. They are still thought of as a quality optic by hunters, many of who aren't on the internet everyday. Most hunters Arent shooters. They run 3 shots down the tube to check zero a day before hunting season. They adjust if necessary and go hunting. They might shoot few times at game over their season then the wipe their rifle off and put it the closet until the next season.
Every gun club in America, two weeks before season, would prove this out…. Lol
Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....
