Mainly for Formidilosus, but others are welcome to post:
Supposing recoil/adjustment damage to a scope is cumulative...do you think the time/intensity plays a part as well? Two examples, same adjustments and number of rounds fired...but with distinctly different timelines:
1. 800 rounds fired, spinning turrets over a weekend.
2. 800 rounds fired, spinning turrents over 5 years.
Do you think there's a difference in the possibility of damage between the two?
