I have four; three Endurance LER, one Endurance 30 8x56. Only trouble so far has been a 2-7 that lost zero mounted on a scope-killer Mini-14. Need to test it to see if it’s broke or just couldn’t hold on under the op-rod whacking the Mini-14 dishes out. An identical one has held up fine on a .50 inline, which comes back pretty hard. I rate the Endurance line about like the Bushnell 3200 and Redfield Revolutions I had, but with illumination and better eye relief. The 30mm models have coil bias springs, and 18-layer multicoating instead of 16. All were bought on clearance for about what the OP’s Vantage lists for or less, except the 8x56, which was $200, IIRC.

Have had good service from Bushnell Trophy XLT bargain scopes, but they dropped the XLT and some say the new ones aren’t as good. Mine have been made in Korea, the Philippines, and possibly one in Japan.


What fresh Hell is this?
