My son had a Swaro 3-9x36A on a Weatherby Ultra Lightweight 30-06 and it had approximately 100 rounds shot through it with no problems. That rifle does have a considerable amount of recoil and jump due to the light weight. He replaced the scope with a Schmidt and Bender Summit 2.5-10x42 and that scope failed in less than 40 rounds.
Now any scope can have a failure but I find it interesting that a scope rumored to be prone to failure, the Swaro, outlasted a scope that is rumored to be fairly durable, the S&B.
The Swaro 3-9x36A is now on my grandsons .243.
