Whats the highest caliber rifle that this scope will handle? I want to put one on my Rem 700 300 win mag but worried it wont hold up to the recoil.

I would say the repeated recoil will probably cause the image picture to go off. I use a 308 and it sometimes causes the image screen to go blank, about 70% of the time you will have a problem while shooting the 300 mag. Too big of a caliber for night hunting any way. I would try something smaller caliber.

I put about 100 rounds of 338 lapua on mine and had no problems except the scope goes blank after each shot for about a second but it recovers nicely

300 win mag...no problem. I had it in my 338 win mag before putting on my AR10. i switch to my AR because of the multiply shot I can get off shooting hog and recoil was much easier on my shoulder...lol

They claim it'll stay together up to those conditions but that's a whole lot of pop right there. I've got two on ar's one 556 and one on a 308 and they've both held zero wonderfully haven't adjusted at all in over a year of hard use but I'm not sure about that 300 mag. You've got to put your eye pretty close to the optic too, I'd be worried about it hitting you in the eye as well...

Why would you want to put this scope on that gun? That rifle is a long shooting rifle and the scope is only good to about 300 yards max and you can only varmint hunt at night and if your thinking about pigs then get a semi - auto AR platform.

I have killed a lot of deer using this scope on a 30-06. Never had to re-zero. Yes, it will hold up to a 308.

Anyone use this on the SACR 17 in .308?Looks like an amazing defense, hog hunting and paper punching scope.

I haven't tried it on that specific rifle but it couldn't withstand the kick on my mosin nagant and since the 7.62x54r is similar in size to a .308 I wouldn't recommend this scope. It's definitely worth spending a bit more money to get a more resistant scope.

I have mine on 270 Win, but can't think of a reason it would not work with 223 Rem. Mil dots are not caliber specific, so will have to develop that data. I am impressed with ProStaff's clarity and brightness. Eye relief is only 3-3.5" though; must mount fairly close to rear. Should work great with AR and adjustable stock.

Hi robert, I wouldn't get this scope if I were you. I ended up scrapping it for leopold scope instead. It couldn't handle the recoil of a remington .380. Not sure what caliber you have but, beware.

I would not hesitate to put them on any caliber. These are very solid and I think would work fine. I have them on my .270 and have had no problems. I will put them on any new 700's I get.

Manufacturer doesn't recommend putting it on anything over .30 caliber. However, the mil-dot reticle can be used with .50 caliber, but I don't think this scope would hold up to that kind of shock.

It's a nice durable scope. I've read some people's reviews using it on their .308's and their .30-06's. I've got mine on just a .223 and the only problem I ran into was the scope mounts it came with. I had a hard time getting the fine tuning I wanted at 100yd. The mounts it comes with are see through. Two people besides myself tried to sight it in as well. With my previous scope using Winchester sliver tip ballistics I could group 3 shots the size of a dime. With this scope on none of us could get it that well dialed in. We all felt it was the mounts causing the issue. I've put new mounts on but sadly haven't been back out to try again. It's defiantly nice for the price with great zoom and view.

ours is mounted with high rings on a 308 precision rifle...so far after several hundred rounds we have had zero problems. it is made for big heavy recoil rifles... seems to be holding ok. 3/4 inch per click at 300 yds...have not shot it at longer range...hope this helps

First, it is not a heavy build scope. Second, I don't think this scope is built for or will hold up to the high calibers. You would always be readjusting it. I only use mine on a 22. For that caliber it works reasonably well.

I have 2- both on Ruger American 22 mag. & 223 Rem. Very accurate out to 100 yds. my longest available range. Excellent scope for the price, easy sighting in

yes, it holds up just fine on a 308. in fact, that is what it was placed on and it holds dime size groups at 100 yards. The scope's clarity is what would be expected for a scope in this price range, good but not excellent. Scope reliably returns to zero when adjusted and brought back. Good scope for the price

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.

I have several of the UTG scopes and they hold up to recoil just fine! I have them on everything from .22/mag/.223/.270. After thousands of rounds in all calibers I have not had a single failure. The lockable/resetable turrets are great when shooting at differant yardages as you can return to your original zero in seconds without firing a shot! I highly recomend them. I can get sub-MOA groups with my AR platform at 100 yds using a 3-12x42, and sub-MOA at 200 yds with a 4-16x56. Solidly built, accurate and affordable! What's not to like?

I would definitely put a my m223 on a .308 or any rifle, the Nikon OnSpot program or app for your smartphone is awesome and has all the regular calibers of most non-wildcat rounds. I plan on buying another m223, and putting it on my father's Sako Deluxe 30-06, it currently has a Kahles 3X12X56, it's a great scope although it has old European style zoom lens optics, the crosshairs become larger the more you zoom, very aggravating.

I have this scope and its really nice, its more like a rubber textured film it very scuff and scratch resistant. Have mine on a savage .270 handles recoil just fine. Nice optic for the price.
