I have Leupold VX II and III scopes, a Rifleman 3X9, also a 3X fixed. In Tasco I have a World Class 3.5-10 and a 6x40 WC Plus.
Never had a problem with any of them, and they have all been treated roughly in the field, though not all actually shot that much, on rifles ranging up to .338WM. The Tasco 6X ( then on the .338) fell 30' from a tree stand and survived. Needed re-sighting in tho....
I wish all my scopes were 6X40 or so.
My Leup 2x7 x32 was bought in 1979. The last one (III in 3.5-10) about 1990. The Tasco 3.5x10 purchased 1995 is on the .338 now.
I haven't bought a scope since, so I know nothing about current productions. These meet my needs.
Back around 1969 I had 3 Redfields fail in a single hunting season. Switched to Leupold and Burris, and never had another problem. Had a Weaver, steel tubed 3X9 for a time, but it was way heavy. The second time the crosshairs broke on it it was round filed. Killed a bunch of caribou with it when it was on the .25-06, tho.
