I prefer fixed power scopes. Had a bushnell 10x that I liked but when it failed on me (even though bushnell supposedly fixed it, i've been scared to mount it up again) I bought a redfield which is a decent scope for the money but I want to pick up another fixed power for my 308. The two main scopes I"m looking at are the Leupold FX-2 6x and the SWFA SS 6x or 10x with the mil/mil adjustments.

Anyone prefer one to the other? I've read good things on the adjustments and clarity of both scopes. Guess I'm looking for which one tends to be a little more rugged (even though I baby my guns)
