After being bore-sighted and zeroed, I was ready for my hunt. The night before opening day Elk season, I wanted to make sure my rifle was zeroed. Fired 1 round and the scope lost pressure and shattered internally. Let me say again - shattered. You may be wondering - Why are you hunting elk with .50BMG. Wrong again. I had this on my 30-06. Fired 10 rounds total. Could no longer hunt the opening weekend that I had planned to hunt all year because I was in a remote area far from replacement (I will not be fixing this as I will never make the mistake of going cheap on optics again).
