To me, this is where this whole debate gets convoluted.

What is your definition of failure? To me that is not an apples to apples comparison. It seems you are comparing 2 products manufactured towards a totally different market with different expectations of each.

A person buying a VX3 as a “set and forget” scope is probably not going to consider values being incorrect a failure if it holds zero for them.

A person buying the SWFA that does not track accurately will consider it a failure.

Do you genuinely believe the failure rate- that is x amount of failures per 100 scopes- is the same between a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40mm and a SWFA SS 3-9x42mm?
