Nikon's glass is as good as Leupold's glass, but their scopes (comparable product lines being compared) are not as good as Leupold. Leupold's mid range stuff will stand some brutal punishment.

That may be your experience. I have never heard that complaint from anyone else. You state it as a fact like the whole world knows this to be the case. Maybe you just got a bad one, I don't know. "Big magnums with aggressive gas port angles on the brake"? What are we talking elephant hunting? If you are using a brake then recoil shouldn't be the problem so it begs the question, what is destroying the scope if not recoil? Gas being blown back into the scope at high pressure because of the brake? I think that would be considered abuse on anything but some specialized equipment. At any rate, again we are talking about a .243 not a heavy magnum with aggressive angles on the brake. You believe Leupold is better than Nikon, I don't. No point arguing about it.
