How much abuse can the Integrix iX8 scope take before it loses zero?

In this video we put the INTEGRIX iX8 1-8X28 34mm FFP LPVO through a proper torture test. First we establish a zero and run a tracking / return-to-zero test. Then we start subjecting the rifle and optic to increasingly hard impacts to see if the point of impact shifts and if the scope can actually hold zero.

The test setup is simple: a budget AR-15 fitted with UTG parts, a UTG cantilever scope mount and the INTEGRIX iX8 M3 MRAD. That also gives us several possible failure points: the LPVO itself, the mount, the picatinny rail interface and the rifle.

Before the abuse starts, we shoot a baseline group and perform a box-style scope tracking test, dialing elevation and windage around the target before returning to the original zero. The iX8 tracks back to the same point of impact.

Then the torture test begins. Drops, impacts, hitting the optic, throwing the rifle around - including an impact directly on the top turret. And somehow... it keeps holding zero.

That surprised us, because even when the scope itself survives an impact, the mount and rail interface can still introduce a point-of-impact shift. With this setup, however, we couldn't produce a meaningful zero shift during the test.

How much Abuse before it loses Zero? | Integrix iX8 LPVO

With this setup, however, we couldn't produce a meaningful zero shift during the test. This particular INTEGRIX iX8 has already survived years of use, including the Light Infantry Competition, water, mud, dust, extreme temperatures, Finnish Winter Brutality and other shooting competitions. This time we specifically wanted to test zero retention, turret tracking and impact durability. What should we do to the INTEGRIX iX8 next?
