Some of the problems with scopes that are written here can be attributed to shooting from a rest that grips the gun and doesn't allow recoil to happen normally.
Even the lead weighted bags that have a deep groove for the rifle to rest in can cause the same problems and damage scopes, especially with rifles with synthetic stocks that grip firmly in that groove and don't move normally on recoil.
Of course, that's just some of the problems.....but it's there.
