I have 2.5-8 that I used to have on my Ruger 77. It worked very well for me for many years. It sits in a drawer awaiting another rifle to rest upon. It took a pretty good hit once when the gun fell off the top bunk in the trailer. It has a dent in the bell but after two or three rounds it was back to zero. It was off by about two inches to the left at 100 yds. I killed a cow elk that year. It held zero until I took it off for a bigger scope.
