As per your versions of "knowledge","experience" and "results",do cite the relationship of mass to internals. Especially given the fact,that you'd have to purchase a scope with a scratch,to be able to speak in the firsthand about actual use. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!...................

I always chuckle when people post that picture with the words “bullet proof”, for exactly the same reason. There’s a bullet hole through the tube, and it was just plain lucky that the bullet missed the important optical/mechanical elements. Several scope lines are known to tenaciously hold zero, and likely would have held up equally well to a bullet through the tube that missed the lenses and erector assy. I’m glad the mission was able to continue after the scope tube took a bullet, but I think implying that this means the NXS is “bullet proof” is a bit overplayed.

You and I have a different understanding of the words "bullet proof." The rifle tube has a bullet hole in it; that makes it NOT bullet proof. If the bullet had been a half inch on either side of where it it hit, the scope would have been a lot worse off. It's like when you read or hear about someone getting shot and the bullet missed a vital organ or blood vessel by scant fractions of an inch and thus the person survived. That does not make them "bullet proff." Let me introduce you to a new concept that explains it all: LUCK. Last edited by FTR_Shooter; 07/02/21.

Granted, but that does not make the Nightforce "bullet proof", which was the whole (hole?) point.
