exactly right, Jordan.
Have mentioned this before, but I've had 19 brands of scopes go wonky on my rifles, from sheer shooting. That's brands, not individual scopes. These days I only use scopes I KNOW are reliable, and the more the rifle they're on recoils, the more I rely on well-proven scopes.
Have wasted far too much time and ammunition on scopes that have gone bat-crazy on rifles, especially in the past decade. When I have to test a rifle for a magazine deadline, so don't have time to dink around with sloppy adjustments, much less the possibility of the scope failing during the tests. While I don't use Nightforce exclusively, I'm sure they'll work, especially if the testing will involve considerably shooting on a harder-recoiling rifle.
