Has anyone used this on a .308? Will it break / hold zero?

Your .308 has a little more punch than my .223 - I found if you change the muzzle brake - it will calm it down quite a bit and help hold everything together better. I actually dropped my AR and it landed on the scope - after a quick dustoff - and a re-sighting - I was good to go. I usually check my scope for tightness after about every 40 rounds - 2 magazines.

Im only shooting .308. It was designed for a spring air rifle which is supposed to have a more damaging 2-way recoil. It does have a warranty if it breaks.

After about 300 rounds thru my MN, the scope stopped holding zero. It was great before that. Mine at least worked one day then just couldn't hold zero the next. Mount is a brass stacker and it's rock solid. I initially gave the scope good reviews but that was before shooting it a bunch.

Not sure, I have this mounted on a vepr 308 and it sits just left of center. However, you can still see the iron sights through the center of the rail and it DOES hold zero on my 308! Any of these type of side mounts will most likely be off to one side or the other because of the wide variety and differences in AK's but if you have a good scope that difference want matter at all. It's a great scope rail at the price, also the side rail comes off to save some weight as well.

Mine has held up pretty well. It is pretty easy to zero, and functions as advertised. I have mine on a spring pellet rifle, and nothing has gone wrong on the inside of the scope, (a not uncommon problem). Like many reviews say, the reticle is kind of fat, but not a big deal. If you are not using it in a tactical or competition environment, I highly recommend it.

I have also used this scope on my rem700 in 308. Holds a great zero and has taken a decent amount of abuse. The glass and turrets help up great.

At first I thought I received a broken one, turns out the mount was bad, so far it has held up on a .308 Zastava AK for over six months. I fire the gun about every other week shooting at least 100 rounds through it. So the tiny .223 should not be a problem.

I had this on a 9mm MP5 and it still kept Zero after 1000rds. This is really made for the MP5 rail system. For a .308 rifle there are better options like aimpoint etc...

I've got mine mounted on a 30-06 (my strongest rifle) and it's held up without a flaw so far. I've since acquired an mint vintage leupold vari x and I still keep my Tasco on my 30-06. That says something about how much it works right?

I have it mounted on a mosin nagant in a scout scope mount has held up very well. I have shoot at the 200 yard distance with it and it's held its zero. Hope this helps

In my opinion, yes. Mine took 3 shots to get zeroed and haven't had any problems holding zero. Maybe the sight or riser is loose??

These type of mounts (flip to side or slide to side) always have some movement when deployed. They are meant for magnifiers where it doesn't make any difference. It would not hold zero at all with a scope in it. You would be lucky to keep your shots in an 8-10" circle at 50 yards using one of these. You need a solid mount for that or a set of rings that mount solidly to the rifle. You can also buy quick disconnect rings that will hold better zero when taken off and put back on if you buy good ones. Cheap ones just won't do the task.

I first had this on my .22 and it was ok. It barley held zero on that. I never put it on my .223 but the thing weights close to a pound if not more. Great little scope if it was lighter and held zero alittle better

I would say that its not the scope, it holds perfect zero on several 22 rifles I have it on. Break barrel air rifles very often have zeroing issues due to the placement of the scope behind the barrel breaking point. When the barrel is opened, and then closed it can shift the barrel enough to cause a point of impact change.

I would say no, i use it on a 50 cal black powder rifle that gets beat around in pine thickets and it hqs not lost zero .

I don't know the answer to that. But I can tell you I have mine on a Gamo Bull Whisper .177 and it stays right on after being zeroed in.

Mine has held up fine to 7.62x39. Has not lost its zero yet after 100's of rounds. Best bet would be to try it and if it fails send it back. Good luck
