Has anyone ever had a problem busting scopes with a whisper? I know rimfires require a special scope because of the vibrations could it be possible i need the same for my whisper?
I've currently killed 2. Granted neither was a good scope. Barska 3-9x42 IR Compact ($59) and Gear Guide 3-9x56mm ($89) The Barska wouldn't hold a Zero. And the Gear Guide after 15 shots went blurry and wouldnt focus.
Gun is a Thomposon Center Contender with a 25" Extra Bull Barrel. Load is 240gr smk over 6 grains of No. 5.
As of now I'm looking at the following two scopes:

If anyone knows a lot about scopes can you explain me this? Field of View is based on two things? Eye relief and Magnification? So since these scope have the same magnification (at the low end) so shouldn't the scope with teh closer eye relief have the greater field of view, but with these scopes it does not hold true cause the Weaver has a closer eye relief and the Simmons has the greater field of view.
