Bushmaster,
Thought I'd weigh in a little. It sounds like you might be concerned about recoil, but rest assured all Leupold riflescopes undergo the same rigorous testing and development for impact. That Freedom will preform well on any beast of a rifle you could imagine dropping it on. Hope this helps!
Welcome to the Fire.
Glad to have your input. Hope you have a thick skin...

it's good to see company & factory reps weigh in and provide additional, detailed information about their products.
given this is a hook & bullet site, that kind of information is especially helpful and useful to the members.
personnally i own two leupold scopes. both have been back for repairs, and returned quickly.
they're still in use. i consider them the best of the optics that i use to hunt deer.
yes, as dirtfarmer indicated, having a thick skin never did hurt anyone.
