These were vortex diamondback hp 4-16x42. Both held zero fine, what was breaking was something in the rear eyepiece focus adjustment. It would break and then fish eye. Take the scope off and you could hear the lens rattling around inside.

Didnt mean to hijack your thread and turn it into a vortex bashing thread, just sharing my experience

You aren't hijacking at all. Thank you for your input!
Did you see my question about which rings you used on your Apex?

That is strange. I've never shot a 35 whelen but I can't imagine its recoil being more than a 300 wby mag. Me and my friend that has the 300 wby shoot ours fairly often and the scopes are holding up just fine. We both have diamondbacks.
