I've carried, hunted and shot over 150 animals in the last 48 years with m700 Remingtons, pushfeed m70's, m77 Ruger tangers and mk2's as well as others never had a problem with any of them. Proper maintenance and all, scopes not as lucky but not bad . Throw all the effing rocks you like but the 03 & 03A3 as well as the m1917 would get my nod, they have stood the test of time. MB
YEP ! Kinda hard to pick THE most reliable.!
I NEVER have had a rifle fail of ANY brand. I've ONLY had 1 scope failure which I don't consider the scope's fault !
Over a period of years I put that scope on EVERY new to me rifle including the heavy kickers. Finally after years of service the horizontal crosshair broke. ** I still have it ** it deserves respect.
