Adam, I've been using Burris scopes for a while now. When I first bought a RSM in 375 H&H, I had a loopy mounted on it and for some odd reason, it broke after 80 rounds. I sent it back to the factory and promptly replaced it with a Burris variable. I've got Burris's on most of my RSM's and I've haven't had any break yet. It's held up under 375 Ultra, 416 Rigby, and 458 Lott recoil levels so far. I think a scope trashing itself is usually just a flip of a coin whether it will break or not. I've known of a couple of guys who have trashed their Burris's after 200 rounds. You just never know.
