Scope for 458 lott

Swaro Z6i 1-6x is my scope for everything big bore including 458 Lott. No issues with multiple scopes after years of use on multiple big bores.
 
Leupold Patrol 6 HD 1-6 FireDot Duplex
6 safaris and several hundred rounds fired. No issues at all. Only problem is Leupold discontinued that model. I like the non CDS for it.
 
The only scope I've ever heard of not failing on a serious rifle like that long term is a Zeiss Diavari. One water buffalo outfit in Australia replaces VX-IIIs (1.5-5) every six months due to failures on regular 458 Winchester Magnums.

Maybe a Zeiss Conquest 1.8 - 5.5 would hold up maybe a VX-III if you don't shoot the 600 grainers too much. I'd skip the VX-II, it's a two-piece tube.

Most of my hunts are solo — just me, my rifle, and a good map. Sometimes I tag along with an old buddy for a week in Zimbabwe or South Africa, but more often than not, it’s just me.
Big fan of classic hunting — bolt-action rifles, old-school tracking, and taking the time to really be in the moment.
Just did a podcast, check it out if interested!
