IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO OWNS A SPRINGFIELD SCOPE THAT WORKS??? ONE WHICH THAT INDIVIDUAL USES AND THE RETICAL HASN'T FALLEN OUT OF YET? ONE WHICH STILL HOLDS ITS ZERO?

If so I'm curious to know what model it is, when it was purchased, and what gun you've been shooting it on.

    I have two, haven't gotten to use them much, one's not even mounted yet. I'm so scared of them breaking. I have over $1000 in them both.

    When I bought them, I didn't know how much they were, and their reputation. A learning experience you know...

    leeblackman,,I know this ain't going to help,,but,I too just purchased two new Springfield scopes,,If I remember right the 4X14X40 cost me around $350.00 and the 4X14X56 was $470.00. Just like ya I haven't spent enough trigger time to see how these things will hold up,,but for the money that we spent, having to worry about it doesn't make me too happy!!! I had to wait weeks to get them,,my thoughts were that "man these are good property,,there is such a demand there ain't any in stock",,,um wrongo,,,,,I do wish you luck,,,nobody ever had to say that to someone that just bought a Leupold,,

    "No dear, this isn't a new gun,,I've had this one for quite a long time,,honest,,"

    My 4-14X40 has been problem free ... the 4-14X56 nothing but problems ... its one of the only products made in Japan I concider JUNK.

    BTW:
    I gave $450 for the 4-14X40(for .223) and $550 for the 4-14X56 2nd generation(for .308) ... 4 years ago.

    I have a first generation 4 to 14x56 mounted on a MIA Springfield in a first Generation Springfield mount that I have been Shooting for 3 years without any problems. I wonder if new and improved is really better.
