Have any of you had a scope fail on a low recoiling rifle such as a 22-250?
I prefer classic.

I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

I had a scope fail on a .22 LR semi-auto rifle. I win!
Actually, I don't recall the brand of scope but I think it was a blister pack Simmons or Tasco. Happened many years ago.

Mini 14 was a scope killer for me.

A Vortex Diamondback on a 358 Win, Browning BLR. Vortex fixed it and I put it right back on.

I like how some name the brand but not the model. That's like saying Fords are junk. Is it a Focus or an F250? Models matter...

Yes. A 6BR trashed a Burris Fullfield II in less than 6 shots for me.

.17 HMR--but it was a really cheap dialing scope that Cabelas imported for a while.
It failed almost immediately on a .30-06, so I took it off and later tried it on the .17, because quite often scopes that go wonky at one level of recoil will still work on something with lighter recoil. This one worked for one season on ground squirrels and prairie dogs, but quit the next year.

Bushnell banner on top of a 22mag.. Good thing I still had the recipt. Took it back and never bought another banner again..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
