Thanks. I own one Zeiss and numerous Leopold’s (mostly older ones).
I’ve never tried Nightforce. But I’ll be considering them.
Let me put the question another way: a friend has a specially ordered 460 Weatherby without a muzzle break. He hates muzzle breaks. He also owns a bolt action single shot 50 BMG. The 460 kicks much more than the 50 BMG, because it’s much lighter.
What scope would be able to last the longest on that Weatherby?
In my younger years I had mostly steel tube Elpaso Weavers 2 1/2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 10x and 12x. Granted the only hard kicker I mounted any on was my 350 RM 600 Remington and that was a 2 1/2x. I had 4x scopes on the ‘06’s and the higher power on lighter kicking cartridges.
I never had scope failures that I was aware of. But I wonder if I let some scoped rifles go due to a bad scope??
I always preferred fix power scopes.
