I would put Leupold at the top of a short list (my list any-ways.) But remember, particularly with the big calibers, no matter what scope you buy it can, and has the potential, to give out. the only way to guarantee that it will not is to put a nice set of iron sights on it. LOL A fixed scope is also stronger than a variable, but I don’t think I need to tell you that looking at your post. But a 4X Leupold going down in one shooting session… WOW!
