On average, us typical hunters likely stress a rifle/scope less frequently. But it’s not zero. On the rare occasion something happens like a fall, it’s nice to think you’ve tilted the odds in your favor with good equip. That doesn’t even speak to functionality. I spent a lot of ammo chasing what turned out to be a wonky scope. I’d rather not do that again. Two others had a piece hanging loose, no troubleshooting required. I’m a fan of the SHV.
