My s2 3-9 has seen some rough duty on an old Ruger 30-06 dragged around by my son and nephew. It just keeps working without any adjustment required. Think of it as a boring Vx2 with a little less bright image, a little smaller eye box and probably better adjustments. The rimfire version on my 10/22 is just as boring it holds zero year in and year out. My friend who has his on a 30-06 is disappointed that it is so boring and just works - not a flashy scope at all.
