I just had a Nikon Prostaff go out on me on my .30-06 bolt gun. I lost the windage adjustment and the zoom. It is at Nikon now under warranty (purchased it in late 2014), and I expect I will get a new one. I was doing a lot of shooting with it to get ready for a hunt this fall (testing different ammo brands, sighting in, and practicing for longer range shooting). I'm somewhat concerned that the new scope won't hold up well with a lot of use either.
I have a Leupold VX-R on my 450BM, and have put a lot of rounds down range with no problems.
I have heard good things about Vortex, and I'm looking at one for a backup scope for my hunt.
