Durability issues we seen in the field usually has to do with the scope rings...... seen it twice, and both times were 2 piece rings/base where the rear "windage" screw loosened up. All we'll use now are 1 piece Talleys, or dovetail Leupold. Blue locktite the base screws, but not the rings.
Other failures in the field had to do with maintenance. Too much gun oil buildup inside the bolt that caused an issue in cold weather where the oil turned to molasses and the firing pin didn't hit the primer hard enough to go off..... buck got away that day.......
