Here's my stance on that -
I grew up a southeastern deer hunter. When someone kills a deer at 200 yards it's something we talk about. That's far for us. I never even shot a rifle at paper past 100 yards until I was like 26 years old and only shot one deer that was "far" - 220 steps. Still the farthest I've ever killed one. I killed all my deer prior to 2021 with a Tasco, a Simmons, irons, buckshot, a bow and once I got a real job a $150 leupold. I didn't backpack hunt, I never dropped my rifle, if it got bumped I checked it and maybe clicked it over a half inch or something. I could have hunted my whole life with an M1 garand and MAYBE killed 2 fewer deer than i have because of it.
The majority of people are served just fine their entire lives with scopes that are not drop proof, and maybe not even ride around in the truck proof. They still hold minute of dead deer inside 200 yards, and that's all anybody knows.
Many people here are in the minority of hunters as a whole, in that they expect to be able to drop their rifle on the road getting out the truck, tote it 6 miles across a mountain strapped to a backpack, and kill an elk at 800 yards. Most people flat out don't do that and don't care if their rifle can or can not. They care that it can do what they need it to do, which is hit the front half of a deer at 100 yards 5 minutes before shooting time ends. Basically any scope on earth will do that riding from the truck to inside a box stand and back a few dozen times a year.
I'm not saying that the overarching opinion around here is wrong, I'm just saying there's a wide chasm between the extremes of what people expect their rifle and scope to be able to do. I personally don't care if my deer rifle loses zero after getting dropped in the rocks. It doesn't get dropped in the rocks, and it doesn't shoot at things more than 200 yards away, and it doesn't get dialed up and down for long shots. It gets checked if it gets bumped, and it'll kill deer just fine like that forever, without being a massive heavy telescope with huge target turrets and a mil reticle.
I think the crusade here to get people thinking about reliability instead of glass quality is a great one. I'm bought in. I'm also not buying SWFA and Nightforce scopes for every rifle I have, because I don't expect them all to be western backcountry long range hunting rifles or PRS match guns. For set it and forget it, basically anything is fine for the vast majority of hunters.
Get whatever tickles your pickle and go kill stuff with it.
I would also like to add that the testing that gets done and posted on here is one of the most valuable things I've ever read regarding rifles. Doing that at the expense of your own time, ammo, and money and sharing it is probably the most valuable information publicly available on the internet about rifles. It'd have taken me a lifetime to figure that stuff out if I ever did at all.
