Fifteenish years ago when I knew there was a problem a 6x42 went on a light weight 30-06. The word on the street was these fixed powers were more robust. The scope broke on the first shot, literally. That was not the straw that broke the camels back, but it came not long after.
That’s funny Clint, by far my last choice of any leupold, had/has a cult like following. Boy the 6x42 was the campfire darling for alotta years...
They worked great for me for many years.
+1, M8 versions without dials. A Remington with a 6x42 HD worked for years without fiddle phucqking around. Also had great service from the old Vari-X 1.5-5x20.
