My Barrett Fieldcraft in 7-08 is turning out to be a scope killer. I think the light rifle with a fast recoil impulse is tearing scopes up. I just had another SWFA SS 3-9 HD go bad on it. It ate one last fall that I sent in and still haven't got the replacement back for it yet. Now I have another to send in and they are still on back order.
It also killed a VX-3 3-10x40. I've thrashed a lot of leupolds over the years but the vx3 3-10x40 usually hold up fairly well. I though it might do better under recoil because it's a lighter scope. I just put a new vortex razor hd hunting scope on it. Probably be testing the vortex warranty soon.
I'm bummed to be down 2 SS 3-9 mil mils because they are one of my favorite scopes. This recent one makes the 4 th one I've had go bad but I have several that get used. I will throw a SS fixed 6 mil mil on it if it eats the vortex. The little 7-08 doesn't feel like it kicks much but it is a scope killer.
