Not exactly torture, didn't beat on it with a hammer or throw it over a cliff but I thought it was a good test regardless.

For the past 2.5-3 months my .243 has been riding on the dash of the feed pickup. Pretty much 3-4 hours of continuous daily gyration.

If you've ever driven across a field of frozen cow chit you know what I'm talking about. It's not a smooth ride, the rifle gets bounced and shaken constantly. It also goes from sub zero to pretty warm with the heater defrost.

Obviously the rifle just gets superficial wear and tear but I wasn't sure how the scope would hold up(as in hold zero).

Checked zero last October before deer season.

Checked it again today right before lunch. Quick 4 shots from the dirt.

Not bad, 1.5 inch group at 200 yards(10-15 mph breeze).

Two thumbs up for the scope so far, give it another 10 or 20 years and I'll really be impressed!
