When you say you've burned out barrels trying to break one, on what rifles chambered for what cartriages ? And what did those rifles weigh ? How many rounds did that take ?
I have friends that have burned out barrels on one extensive PD shoot by simply shooting the rifle with a hot barrel. On the other hand, another friend couldn't find a variable scope that would hold up to the recoil of one of his 7.5 lb. 338's more that 140 rds.
It may sound impressive to some that a scope can survive being kicked down the street or thrown out a window. Or left at the bottom of a lake.
I'm impressed with scopes like Leupold's Mk.4's, 10X scopes those seals survive being repeatly submerged in submarines and can survive 1500 g's, 5000 times. E
