I've broken quite a few of them, 3 or 4 on my 7 ½ pound 340 Wby.
I've had reticles fall out, dials fall off and just a shifting lens inside somewhere. The AO models are prone to trouble. I have a few still, i like the 2.5-8 for being fairly compact and light. Never broke one of these. I have not had the best luck dialing them but my VX5 seems to dial fine. My 2.5-8 don't dial at all. They are sight in and forget only
