There will be at least one person ask that seriously…

Nothing a little bubble gum and tenacious tape couldn’t take care of in the backcountry!

 

[PNWGATOR]

As always…you do good work!

Depends on your definition of "survive" and whether or not a turret that sheared off constitutes surviving...

Just reinforces the concept of "hold for wind".

Awesome as always @Formidilosus! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these tests

These tests are a huge resource for us regular guys. They are much appreciated!

For all the Scopes that shit the bed someone should document the warranty process. That seems to be really important to a lot of your critics form.

Maybe. However I would guess that Zeiss will say this isn’t covered. Leupold may look at them, and Vortex does- however the base things that cause the failures won’t change.

Thanks for getting these tests underway again guys, they’re great.

Form, have you got any experience with older Zeiss scopes? I’ve had a couple of older Victory model scopes for about 10 years and they haven’t let me down. They aren’t dialled.

A bit. The short answer is that I’ve never seen a Zeiss coke that could be termed “durable”. The older Victory’s are probably the best ones they mad (unless you go real old) but I still have seen issues when used hard.
