I am not the easiest on my equipment. I dont even have a case for my rifle as I have a whole back seat in my truck clear. I send alot of rounds down range as I have a 300 yard range in my yard, and a 700 yard hay field a couple miles fown the road. I have owned a Vortex Pst 6-24x50 for over 3 years. I have never had an issue of any kind. I guess I am lucky!
