I challenge reviewers to be true journalists and test the following factors of every scope they review:
Shock testing.
Fog-proof testing (hot/cold/hot water dunking).
Total reticle adjustment range, actual and advertised.
Adjustment increment vs. advertised, over the entire adjustment range, including the affect of vertical adjustment on horizontal, and vice versa, over the entire range.
Repeatability of adjustment.
Eye relief at all powers.
Percentage of light transmission.
Pincushion/barrel distortion, lateral color, flare and other common optical tests.
Convergence of optical center, tube center, and center of reticle adjustment.
