Farken hell, how rough are you? As I say I've used a bunch of Nikons (have used Leupolds). Including a Prostaff Rimfire I've had for about five years and an older monarch I've had for about 10 years. The monach has been on at least four different centrefires and has done all sorts of hunting trips with no issues. I'm not at all easy on my gear, but I'm not stupid with it either. I'd say most kiwi hunters would be fairly tough on gear compared say the average European hunter in his stand.
Any reasonable scope should stand up to the riggers of a "working rifle". Many professional pest guys use fairly cheap optics. To be breaking scopes like that you must be literally throwing your rifle around....????
