I use the $100 scopes (no matter I paid $60, or once $25 used and sent it in, and they returned a NEW one) for destruction testing. Lifetime transferable warranty with $12 shipping and handling.

I had a Simmons 4X I shot maybe (200) full house .500 Maximums with from a 10" Reeder Encore. Of course it was over a long time span. It continued to do test duty on others too. Ditto the Leupold Double Dovetail base with blue Loc-tite screws, and 5-min-epoxy under the base (but never on the screws). Before a hunt I swap to a less abused model and sight in. I have a second Simmons 4x and another 2X I've had a long time too. I do not believe the variables will take as much damage, no matter the maker. Just too many more parts over a good fixed scope to have come loose.

For a less expensive option, not the first choice, or maybe one to abuse like I do, they are great!
