When you say a scope failed, are you meaning failed your testing criteria or actually mechanically broke?NF ATACR- have used a lot. A lot. Have tested more than 20. They work. They have a failure rate of course, but it much lower than anyone else.
S&B PMII- have used a bunch. Tested more than 20. Some of them exhibit zero shifts from impacts- not all, and their overall failure rate is significantly higher than NF Milspecs, though less than most others. Still, a decent scope.
Gen 2 Razor- 100% that I have used and seen used, including the much vaunted 1-6x have failed and/or lost zero with sub 4K rounds- save one. I have used a lot and put a lot of rounds through them by anyones definition.
Tangent Theta- don’t know yet.
Minox ZP5- don’t know yet. I can say that the ZP8’s have catastrophe failures from repeated impacts.
Hendsoldt- have seen a bunch, though older. Generally didn’t see many issues, though haven’t put any through evaluation.
Steiner Military- six (6) in the last 12 months. Every single one failed with no abuse. The eyepieces become loose and fail big time. They also loose zero from side impacts.
Both of these were zeroed prior to a 12 hour car ride where with were in padded cases- no abuse, just vibration.

6.5 CM on left, .3 mil Yo, and .2 right shift. 338 on right .1 down, and .2 left shift.

Rezeroed. 1 day later on the 6.5CM-

This has been consistent with all that I have seen.
Khahles- a dozen or so. Several complete failures, and they don’t like side impacts.
Leupold Mk6/8- haha. The Leupold Mark 6 failures were only eclipsed by the Leupold Mark 4 variable failures.
Here’s the last brand new Mk6 mil scope-

I can keep going.
I could show in five minutes in front of you, that it is t the case. I’m just a dude on the internet- do not believe anything I say. I guess you have two choices. Seek confirmation bias- go ask others who haven’t tested their stuff, then feel better when they tell you I’m FOS. Or, test yourself and find out if marketing and people’s perception is true.
You have a serious lack of understanding of what militaries and governments do with regards to procurement, testing, selection, or use by soldiers.
