I have four of them now... I managed to break one. Called Cabela's and all is well in the world. Great store. But also a great scope for the money. Sabotloader is the one that got me interested in them because of the luck he had with is. I have them mounted on Green Mountain Barrels, and my Optima has one. So far, they are doing well.
The one I did manage to shake apart was not the same model as the one you have. If that is any comfort. And when I test rifles, scopes, projectiles, etc.. I am never easy on them. I want them to break. I want them to fail on my range and not in the woods where I might be depending on the item.
