Will this hold up to the recoil of a 308, need at leat 6 inches of eye relief on my SOCOM 16?

If you want to shoot over 100 yard. This is not the right one. spend some more money for Nikon scope. The scope you've asked is hard for to find target. I owned one but I regret for to buy it and left it there for awhile not sight in. That's why I can't return. Money is matter with scope the more you pay the best you'll get. And remember your is .308 this the one for yours.

This scope is recommended for spring air pellet rifles, which, due to crushing bi-directional recoil, are far harder on scopes than a .308 or .30-06. So don't worry about holding zero on hunting rifles.

I installed it on a .270 win. Of course I don't shoot all day with this. After some 100 rounds it has hold the zero. I put the very same on a CZ .22LR and, of course, after thousands of rounds it's just fine. I don't get your question about eye relief. On the .270 I set it to get the whole optic field and it's much closer than that but recoil is not an issue with glasses on.

I have had this scope on my remington 700 30-06 now for over a year with about 400 rounds through it. This scope not only works well I have only had to adjust my scope once in the past year and that was do to a 8 foot drop after a pig chased me up a tree. And the correction was very minor. Great scope.

I put it on my AR10 and have about 75 rounds through it and no ploblems so, I very happy with it, the eye relief is set up a little different then other Sniper scopes, it focus's by adjusting the front lens but everyone that used it, 4 of us so far have been able to adjust and see just fine. Hope this helps.

Oops I responded, but I did not keep this scope. It was not as clear and bright as the link below.http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1156168462/simmons-whitetail-classic-rifle-scope-65-20x-50mm-adjustable-objective-matte?cm_vc=ProductFinding

I doubt that this is the scope for you. I use on my 10/22 and it is a good little scope, but with a 308, I would have my doubts. Also, eye relief is closer to 3.5" at best. Look at Midway Simmons Whitetail scope. That is what I have on my Mosin.

I can say it is sturdy , I can't say .308 recoil but 9mm is fine I haven't had any complaints and I have used the sight regularly , hope this helps

Well I am going to put it on my Mossberg so I will let you know what happens! My understanding is that it will handle the recoil just fine.

Just fine if you have a flattop receiver. The .308 round is a decent cartridge out to 600-700 yards, so 16x will get you there will no problem. If your worried about the .308 damaging the scope, don't. I have the same optics on a Savage 10 FCP in 300 Win Mag w/ zero issues after 500+ rounds down range.

Exactly the reason I bought it....recoil not a problem but I am over 6' with long arms. Rifle fits perfectly with the pad installed and I don't think I'll ever take it off. Recoil is lessened somewhat but not much.

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.

I use this on an AK pistol in 7.62x39. With a 10" barrel it kicks harder than a rifle. Sight holds up fine.

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.

I would say at least 6" eye relief, and you should be able to off set the scope enough to work. The solution is getting the bent bolt then you could get away with a 4" relief.

Yes if you weight it down. I use two 25 lb bags of lead shot, the recoil is barely noticeable from my 30-06 to my shoulder. The muzzle will still jump when fired which causes you to readjust your sights on target, but recoil is significantly reduced

hello I am using a bushnell scope at the moment for a small caliber rifle. It is not holding up to the recoil of the hornet. I have some friends that do a lot of hunting with high power air rifles and they all use this one in the link I am purchasing one myself. I hope this helps Crosman CPA416AORG2 Centerpoint 4-16x40mm Riflescope

With the recoil of a 308, I would recommend a higher end mount. This one is great for a 223. I don't know how long it will last on a 308.

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.

it has a really long eye relief, but if your mosin scope is mounted in front of the bolt thats a bit iffy. But there are options for mounting over the bolt in which case it should be more than fine

I think in general is great, I can't answer your question about eye relief. I mounted mine on a 22-250 which has a different recoil. This scope has the TBX reticle which is customized for 55-grain loads in .223 Rem. sighted-in at 200 yards. The bottom post is marked in 100 yard increments out to 600 yards not in mil dots. The top post does have mil dots which can be used to estimate ranges. If I had known this I would have purchased a different scope. The scope also has a 30 mm tube not 1 inch.

Mine moved around quite a bit but it was on a 308 that jerks alot. If you have a built in pic rail it would be fine.

Sure but, I personally wouldn't put it on anything much larger than a .223 because it is an expensive scope. I have mine mounted on an AR15 and it works well but I wouldn't trust it on anything over .308 because of the recoil. I mainly shoot open sights but I wanted to check out the benefits of magnification without lightening my wallet too much. Eventually, I plan to buy a high quality scope and move this one to my Ruger 1022 for plinking.
