I don't know what
@Ryan Avery does with his for certain, but I believe he sends them in and is up front about what occured.
An Athlon I tested was sent in by the owner and I believe he said what testing was done. That one was also a bent type or broken eye piece.
HELOS BTR GEN2 2-12x42 AHMR2 FFP IR MOA sku214104 This scope has come up in discussions for some time. @JustSomeGuy35 sent me a new one this week to drop test following @Formidilosus protocol as I have done before. I should be able to wrangle up camera holder guy @TheViking this weekend to...

The Maven I tested never went back. It has gone from a 22BR to a 300wsm to a 22lr T1x and never done anything weird. It has intentionally been used the most of the many scope's I have. It might go on a 300wsm to hunt elk with this year, and they sent me another that will might go on a 6.5prc to hunt deer.

The person who will hunt with these rifles likes the Maven scopes, and isn't a shooter last 300 yds, so I'm ok with trying.
The scope on my rifle is the same SHV that was tested below. I did drop that rifle on the scope hunting this fall when I was fiddling with a new rifle carrier in my pack and thinking my wife had a hold of the rifle I unlatched it. Fell right on the turret on a beach ball rock. Shot an elk a few hours later at a little over 400yds.
Nightforce 4-14x50 SHV F1 drop testing and mini evaluation. It was pointed out to me that I need to proof the rifle/mount/rings system. @HawkinsPrecision rings, Tikka T3 action with 22BR barrel from Preferred, in a Bell and Carlson stock. This scope is my own, one of two, and I have had it...

I do think the LRTS I tested was fine. I traded it for some other things and came out way ahead due to the LRTS/LRHS being hard to find. I'd hunt with one without a second thought, but I also have grown very fond of the 6x SWFA in addition to the SHVs we have.
