Can this handle the recoil for high powered guns? I.E. LIke Ak47 and 12 gauge shotgun.

I would only use this device on handguns. If thou want something for a rifle get a dot scope that is rated for rifles.

It will take the recoil but it's a junk sight that I don't recommend. Hard to initially zero, but it holds the zero well. Buy a better sight-you'll be happier..

Yes, but I would not recommend this site, the cover is loose and falls off at the slightest movement, and the red dot is slightly off center, was not a good purchase!

I'm thinking it probably will hold just fine for a AK round. But, I wouldn't bet so on a higher recoil cartridge. It's holding up rather well on my AR pieces (rifle / pistol). Hadn't had to re-zero as of yet. The sight is a good value for the dollar when a EoTech 512 is not in the budget.

I had it on ar-15 and it worked fine, no issues, hard to say on a 12 gauge, but I bet itll hold up, for 304 its worth it, reticle as good as any

Yes, but the rifle has a dovetail mount I believe. This is designed to fit a picatinny or weaver rail. Recoil from an air rifle certainly wouldn't be an issue. Works great for my AR 15, and got my scope up higher to install my 45° sights too ;)

Yes. It withstands much heavier recoil than that from my guns. It will be great. If I could have changed one thing I would have got the x50, but if your wanting clear, crisp, bright, lightweight optics, this one will be great.

I mounted it on my RIA 1911, and It handled d recoil just fine. Not 100% sure but I think it can handle your AK. The quick release mount is pretty solid.

Seems to be fine for me. I used it on an AR-15. They don't have much recoil. I might not use it with any larger caliber rifle.

Can't remember what type of rail/mounts/base Mossberg shotgun has? Either way this red dot scope is meant for airsoft, so recoil from any firearm may damage scope. But as it was cheap go ahead amd us it knowng that it might break.

Take it from me... No it will not! The recoil of a standard rifle, rimfire or centerfire is in the opposite direction of an air rifle. The recoil of an air rifle will quickly damage even most expensive scopes. There are inexpensive scopes made for air rifles that are quite good for your needs. Trust me on this.

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.

No haven't tried it on a 12 gauge but I will say mine broke on my AR15 after about 15 shots. Sent it back the next day...

Yes. I used it on a heavy recoil pellet pistol and it worked fine. Had to tighten the screws with locktite, but I think others have used it on paintball guns with success.

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

Does it work for a 12 gauge shotgun? Yes. I use it for my remington 870 super magnum.

If u can mount it...yes. Should be able to handle recoil without a problem. I've used it on my 338 win mag and no problem there at all.

Yes I have mine mounted on a mini 30 Picatinny and it can handle that recoil no problem. Great scope.

Shot guns have more of a push then a sharp recoil. You should be mounting this on your shotgun.
