I would like to know to what caliber this is able to withstand i have a 7.62 rifle, also would like to know about how many round it can take?

a 7.62 might be a little much unless you are very far away. I use mine with pistols but it is very durable and will last a lifetime with proper care.

I've used one for years and it is extremely durable. I've been hand loading 7.62 and using this scope for years and I've never had an issue. It has been used in the field for decades under horrible conditions and has a great track record. I haven't used it personally w .338 win. mag., but I've done some things to this scope I'd be embarrassed to put into writing and it has always kept zero and functioned correctly.

Everything I have read says 5.56. I have seen images that says you can use for .308. I would call and ask company.

I just bought mine so I don't know the complete range, but there are two flexible feeder tube sizes will handle both of the calibers you mention. Setup for different bullet sizes is fairly easy.

this is a big scope and solidly built. needs a good set of rings and bases. for a patrol rifle this would be great, but it's heavy. for the 7.62x51 platform you'll have plenty of magnification and the scope is clear and rugged once sighted in. hope this helps tkt

I guess it depends on what kind of shooting you want to do. Some of the self defense guys around here are shooting at 7 yards, and that would be fine if your loads aren't too hot. I'm used to IHMSA and more powerful loads, and use this target at mostly at 50 yards for them and it dimples, but it can handle a .45 up pretty close I think.

Sorry emce k, mine is on a 22 lr rim fire rifle w/very little to no recoil...but reading other comments on the review, the scope should be able to withstand large caliber rifle recoils.

If the rail is a standard size it'll hold tight. I don't know how long it'll last at the range though. A friend had one in his .45 and it only lasted through two full magazines.

I would say it depends on two things, 1) what gun are your using and 2) what mounts are you using? My friend has the 6-25x version of this scope on a Savage in 338 with a one piece mount and has not had a problem with it holding zero. About 70 rounds through. He explained to me that the one piece mount helps because it helps absorb some of the recoil. Hope this helps.

I would get an AimPoint patrolman or an EoTech. They are more expensive but well worth the extra cost and will survive your 7.62mm. Trust me I know. I have used them in a number of harsh environments. You may want to get a riser to help with co-witness. Let me know if you have more questions.

I am unfamiliar with the .270, but it held up just fine on my 7.62x39 AK as well as a range trip on my .308 SOCOM II (only about 20 rounds fired from .308 though) hope this helps!

It can handle any fps a small caliber can deliver. 22., 17hmr, etc. I haven't shot .223 bullets at it yet. I bought it for pellets, and it barely turns over. So this thing is made for bullets. Happy Shooting...

You will feel it tighten up so do not overdo it or you will break the spring inside. Maybe about 10 to 12 times should be good. I usually need to wind it up at least one more time halfway through. I shoot only in semi so I could usually make 500 rounds last.

I shot about 60 rounds of steel core 7.62, 300 rounds of 30-06, 200 rounds of 308, and 300 rounds of 223 at it this weekend and there is barely a dent in it. So it will take steel core just fine.

The new one I got is holding up well have put about 30 rnds with it on and its still holding zero its on my 7.62x54r

I can only comment on the gun that it's mounted on, which has a fairly heavy recoil. A 7 mm Remington magnum. I've only fired 20 rounds with this scope on this gun, and it seems to work well.

I have it mounted to my mosin which shoots a 7.62x54 round. It stays zeroed for me I love this scope! You can put it on an airsoft gun no issue.
