so its been hard to keep this under my hat. i was talking to a swarovski marketing man about there scopes. we decided to do a little torture test of them and this is what we came up with. the shotgun shot is @ roughly 14 yards and all the rifle shots are @ roughly 100 enjoy and let me know what you think.

when we started this i was not sure how it would go. now after extensive tests i will say these scopes are tough as nails. i was absolutly amazed at how well it did.

do yourself a favor and watch both videos

I think there is a certain company that makes scopes that owes you some money... lol Talk about an advertisement!

And people wonder why anyone would pay $2,200 for a scope?!.

Did you pay for the scope yourself or was it donated for the test? pretty awesome test!

Very cool and impressive it held zero. I have to admit I was cringing when the 12 gage was leveled on it.

Any possibility of doing the same test with less expensive scopes such as tasco,bsa and barska? just as a comparison.

well that sucks. could a person like myself do it? being that I have no affiliation with any optic manufacturer,I wouldnt see a problem..but ya never know.
I'm just looking for an excuse to shoot a scope with my shotgun.
