So then, can you tell us the so obvious to youdistictions between a BP scope and a regular scope?

Are they somehow "tougher" than a regular scope?

If that's the case then why don't they sell a scope expressly marked "ultra mag" or for the ".416 rigby only"...?

You get my point.........hopefully.

Not "trolling" as you so elequently choose to put it, just calling BS on what you said.

A "BP" or a "shotgun" scope is nothing more than a different reticle, and a selling point, to get you to buy something different that "they" tell you that you "need".

Have always put "regular" scopes on shotguns and ML'ers and never had one crap out.

Infact the only scope I EVER had to send in was mounted on a .270, but it was a Simmons from back in the days before I knew what Good Glass was.
