Why these rifle scopes are so tough and are famous for being tough and reliable. I can remember when I was about 12 years old I was elk hunting with my father, uncle and two cousins in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We had been hunting for most of the day and had only seen a few mule deer bucks and no elk. Well on our way back to the truck and trailer the horses took off on a run for some reason. My father had forgotten his rifle scabbard back at that the trailer. So he had been forced to strap his rifle diagonally across his back, which is never a good idea to do when you're on horse back.

As the horses started to run his rifle came flying off of his back and hitting the dirt with a loud thud. The screw that was attached to his sling had popped out of his rifle. I was riding behind my father on another horse and my heart sank as I watched his Remington 30.06 hit the dirt. We immediately stopped the horses and he picked up his rifle. He decided to fire off a couple of shots at a distant target to see if it was still shooting straight. He fired off two shots and wouldn't you know it. That tough 3X9 Leupold Scope and Remington 30.06 that he had mounted to his rifle shot as straight as the day he sighted it in. And it still shoots as straight as ever 20 years later and has downed dozens of big game animals and some huge elk. That's one tough scope.
