Until the scopes are made of steel the material the mounting system is made of means chit! I dropped my varmint rig off a rock ledge while hunting, rifle landed on the objective bell and bent the tube of a Nikon Monarch scope. The Lightweight Alloy Talleys didn't budge but the scope was [bleep]. I cant understand wanting steel rings to mount a lightweight aluminum aiming instrument on, but that's just me.
