Need a hunting buddy? LOL I must honestly say that the only time a scope has failed me was my fault. I was a young kid at the time 14 or 15 and I wanted to clean the lenses of an old Bushnell scope that was on my 30-30 bolt action Savage. Well noone ever told me NOT to open them up to clean the inside. You know the rest! I have owned several different brands of scopes BSA, Clearfield,Tasco, Simmons, Bushnell, Leupold, Nikon and Unertl none have ever failed.
