does anyone have this on a shotgun? if so, is it affected by recoil?

Do not have it on a shotgun but do have it on a ar-15 pistol and it does not hold zero. Spend a little more and go with a sightmark.

Yes my 12g saiga completely tore it apart. The range lane looked like a garage sale. This is a piece of trash like everything else this company makes, please don't support them.

do you have a good mount? mine works well on my ar but a shotgun hits a little harder. I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

I have mine on my Glock 22 and no problems with recoil shooting at the range.

think recoil would quickly ruin it. there are some at the same price or less that I have found that mount on the barrel an legs rotate up out of the way when not in use that would work better

It has no effect on recoil and barely any on flash. It reduces muzzle climb and sway.

I own two. One sits on my black powder rifle and one on my 30-06. No problems with either.

I can only comment on the gun that it's mounted on, which has a fairly heavy recoil. A 7 mm Remington magnum. I've only fired 20 rounds with this scope on this gun, and it seems to work well.

I have mine mounted on an M&P10; (308). The recoil seems to give the firedot a little problem as mine blinks out occasionally and needs to be turned on again? I have mounted it on my AR15 platform with no problems. It might just be my scope and it may be a defect. However the scope has great optics.

It's working on my Crosman Phantom. I consider that to have a pretty significant amount of recoil. The single bored/screw rings don't cut it on that gun. This is a double bored/screw ring.

Sorry I can not say as mine is on a Ruger 10/22 so it hasn't experienced anything so extreme. It works great on my .22.

Jim, I mounted this scope on my .300 BLK and I have about 1,000 round through it and it hasn't moved. I sighted it in the day I got it and haven't adjusted it since and it's always been dead on. I know .308 is a little more recoil but I think you should be fine with it. I've tested this scope pretty thoroughly. Good luck, hope you get it.

I put it on an 870 for my gf and she loves it. So much easier to hold and aim. Before she had to stretch and try to aim and the shotgun got too heavy.

I put this on my 12 GA Mossberg 500 with 20" barrel and it has held just fine. I have had the scope on there since around January of this year and I have shot slugs, 00 Buckshot, 3" Turkey loads, bird shot, etc. and it has held zero the entire time. I love this scope and I don't see you having a problem with the recoil. I should note that I do have my shotgun customized with a ATI talon pistol grip and adjustable stock system which does take a lot of the recoil away. They have those for the Remington 870 also if you are interested. I hope this helped. Let me know if I can answer anything else.

I have it mounted on my Mossberg 715. I first put it on and then marked the hole on the barrel. Took it off and carefully/lightly drilled a small hole for the set screw. I did this because others complained about it coming off while shooting. It has not moved.

I don't think it lessens the effect of recoil,it just makes the recoil more manageable,but that is from my perspective.

I don't know for absolute certainty. As you most likely know, the "recoil" on a spring powered gun is reverse. You are wise to be cautious. My guess is that, as it is marketed as an air rifle scope, it is most likely able to take this reversed recoil situation. I would urge you to dig deeper. Sorry I can't tell you more.

Hey buddy, no recoil lug on the one I got for my Remington. I haven't received the one for my Savage yet but I don't imagine it does. Just the mount and the screws. Hope that helps.
