Will this Scope handle the recoil of 7mm magnum with muzzle brake ?

Don't know. I use it on a match 22 cal high velocity PCP rifle. It is filled from a 4500 psi air tank. The scope is flawless for my use, not sure about a 7mm. I haven't gotton around to using it with the ar15 but I'm guessing it'll be fine.

In my opinion, no but they have claimed to have tested it on 50 BMG. I used this scope as an intro scope to long range precision shooting however have upgraded to a mil mil shooting system. 1/8th moa is definitely a bench shooters set up. If you want a scope you can trust, get a Leupold, US optics, vortex, S&B.; The cheapest scope i would trust would be the vortex or millet. If this a something you want to put on your ar-15 for testing loads or even just use it as a scope for one of your lesser guns, sure but a Nikkon is only slightly more expensive. Good luck on your decision.

The largest caliber rifle I have used this on is a 7.62x39 AK47. No problem with recoil on that rifle.

It should. The second scope has worked fine. My first one cracked the rear reticle in three shots. A .35 Remington has a pretty good "pop" for recoil ,but, no more than a 308. I've shot both & they are about the same in the recoil department .Worst case scenario , you buy the scope & shoot it like I did mine to zero it & it fails . You contact Reds gear & they'll replace it. That's what I did. My new one has done just fine.

Yes for sure. This is a good optic for its money. The optic is designed to stay on point with large recoil. I attach and detach mine from the rail when cleaning with no loss in precision.

According to vortex's website "Shockproof High recoil rating. Tested with .375 H&H; Magnum for 1000 rounds." So yes it should be just fine. Also vortex's warranty is unconditional. If you break it they will give you a new one. I love mine.

i dont see any reason why it wouldn't. i have mine on a tr77 springer and it's rock solid the one piece mount clamps hard on the scope grooves and the scope rings are wide with four screws it should take some serious abuse before it would move I've not had any experience with the nitro piston guns but its my understanding they are supposed to have a less violent recoil than spring guns so it should be fine hope this helps w

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.

Yes, it should be fine. I have used this on a number of break barrel rifles, and it has held up well to the dual recoil, and should have no problems.

In all fairness, all makers list by heir scopes as being recoil proof, but never list what might be a max caliber. I would think with all my testing with several different calibers I would not be worried at all . It's a great scope at a good price point and I feel you would be fine. Like everything we buy, we take a gamble, and with the background of this maker you should be good to go ! If I am wrong feel free to blast me accordingly !

I would not recommend this scope for a shotgun or any other firearm with significant recoil. It's not a bad scope for the money, but the addage you get what you pay for applies here.

Sure, I have mine mounted on a 300 win. Mag. No issues with recoil, I'm sure it could handle the recoil of 30-06

Yes it will tolerate muzzle blast at least it has from my 300 Win Mag, and the digital display is very easy to read. I have enjoyed using my chronograph it's big window insures you won't be damaging the vaiins and reflectors , with that being said I did order an extra set when I ordered the chronograph , feel free to ask any other questions you may have . Good shooting......Dan

It occurred to me that this scope is geared for the 5.556 / .223 round as far as the bullet drop compensator aspect of the scopes concerned. you would just have to record your settings at the various ranges for the 7.62 x 39 round from your AK is concerned.

Yes this will work. It's magnetic and not a bore scope. It attaches to the muzzle.

Hello, I have this brake on a 243 an it is louder than my 308. Probably a 25 -30 decibel increase in sound at the area of the shooter. I cant speak to the increase in muzzle flash haven't shot at night yet. As to performance for the brakes function, the smith that put the brake on an threaded the barrel tested it an said it feels like a 22 magnum for recoil. I agreed with him, completely lets me stay on sight picture with my scope for instant follow up shots. I hunt coyotes. This brake had a bullet thru hole diameter of .279 so it was no problem using it on a 243 since recommended clearance is .025. Sorry your main reason is to be showy, but after you use a good brake on a gun you will probably change that. Yes at the range people with no ears plugs in are going to Know you are there. A more "flashy" looking brake that I prefer is the VG6 Epsilon 556 It works as a flash hider an brake. I have the VG6 on a 5.56 an its loud as hell to but shoots like a .22 plinker recoil. Hope this helps. G luck

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

Not so sure. This is an air rifle scope and it is set up for air gun recoil. My scope is on a gamo air rifle. Better check out scopes made for .22 regular rifles.
