Your post pretty much says it all.....Barska and gear guide. Neither of them are very high quality scopes and the prices reflect that. I've had customers who've broken those brand names on all manner of rifles.....22LR included. .22's normally require special scopes because of the smaller rails, not the special vibration characteristics. I've used a Leupold VXIII on a number of whispers and never had any drift issues. I had a cheap tasco on one and it dropped the reticle. I know a guy who put an ATN scope on his .50 cal and broke a number of reticles going through about 6 scopes before he found one that would last more than 5 rds. The cheaper scopes are that way for a reason. They have lower grade components, less complex and durable design and little in the way of QC. If you don't want to spend a lot on cheap scopes buy a good one to start with. The amount of money spent is usually equivalent in the end and the headache of dealing with drifting or disappearing zero's is reduced too.
