I have one of the 2.5X25X42's. (I think 42?) Had it for around 8-10 years. Probably my favorite scope. Been to Africa a couple of times in the last 3 yrs. Something like 25 animals taken with it. Good clarity. Holds zero very well. Eyebox is a little tight at higher magnification. Sits on a 7 SAUM. Love the lighter weight. If you can afford it then go for it. Great all around scopes. Never had a problem with mine.
