I've had a Sii 3-12 on my main deer rifle for almost 20 years, I tried to swap it out for nicer scopes, but I always end up putting the SII back on. Just picked a new one up in 4-16AO for a 22 target shooting. 180 shipped...great scope for the money. There should be some good deals at there on them with just a little bit of searching.
As far as a torture test, not really, mine did take a hard fall when we had a four wheeler flip on us once. It made it through that just fine and didn't lose zero.
