    I have heard of more as well.
    The swaro are great scopes but not tough as is becoming obvious.
    The 3 R's pertain to the nf brand that if you are going for the trophy of a life time and you have been on a rough mission to take the shot you can guarantee it won't be your scope letting you down.
    I'm a rough bastard so can vouch for the 3 R's!

    You forgot the 4th "r" really heavy

    Swaros are very nice scopes and lightweight for what they are but it is this lightness I suspect that makes them susceptible to being easily damaged or worn even.

    Both are good scopes but both have different niches in the market........consequently both are well outta my price range

    I cleaned my riffle after my last hunt on Friday night and didn't notice it then.

    I took riffle out of my truck last night and lay it down on my pack while getting other stuff ready, then when I picked it up I noticed it.

    Unfortunately it was on long grass, I had a quick look for the turret but couldn't find it then I started to doubt myself and thought maybe it dropped off at home but a good search of the house showed nothing.

    You would think it would need a good hard knock or a drop to break it off but that never happened and where the turret is remains a mystery.
