I'm thinking about throwing this on my Weatherby TR 12 gauge and I'm a little worried about the recoil. any first hand experience to share?

I have moved it around several times without any failures. It was 1st on Kel-Tec sub 2000, then AR, and finally Ruger Mk lll and it has preformed very well in these applications. Can't say how it would be on a shotgun (haven't tried). My sub 2000 is 40 cal. and has very noticeable recoil, but not like 12 ga.

I have it mounted on a AR so the recoil isn't as bad as a shotgun. I did drop a couple fimes already and it still worked. For $25 Its ok. I am planning on getting a higher end one eventually but for now it serves it purpose. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I used it on SKS. Recoil is not nearly the same. Not good in sunny conditions at all. Holds the zero with my SKS and great for plunking.

I've put the Burris Fastfire III on my Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun as a secondary to my Nikon ProStaff Shotgun Hunter 2-7 x 32 Scope and I've installed these on two of them... they work super great! Don't know anything about this one though...

I have it on my gas block, the elevation adjustment would not drop enough for the uphill range I use outside of town. It seemed okay on the rail for more level firing and closer shots. Hope this is some help.

on a 12gauge w/ a breaching devise ,like my mossberg 500, I used a steele slug to set it on . with 22 cal. Like 10/22 Rugers and even a bull barreled target 22 it worked fine. lerosado@yahoo.com

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.

It is synthetic so it's good for all weather, and the difference between the original wood stock and this one is you won't have that hard steel butt plate slamming your shoulder after repetitive use, recoil is still felt but I'd say reduced by 20% besides all that, it just looks freakin awesome!!!!

I'm not sure how well it will hold up to recoil but on crossbow and .22 cal rifle. It works well. The reviews on this were very good so I bought it for that reason. It seems pretty solid and should hold up well. I'd check other reviews and see if you can find more info on this item.

I purchased a Remington supercell recoil pad for wood stocks to put on my Remington 1100 Trap gun. When I received it the pad was too small. I bought a GrayCoil stock adjuster and ground that to fit my gun and then mounted the recoil pad to that. I love that pad. It's the softest pad I've had on a gun in my 55 yrs. of hunting and clay target shooting.

To be completely honest it's great for small caliber rifles but I have noticed on larger calibers it does tend to stray slightly. On my GSG - 522 it's never had a problem even after 5000 rds. but I was just out last week and had it on a 7mm and the Ruger Mini-14 (.223) and by the end of the day (500 rds.) I had to make some adjustments. They were very miner and are easy to make but it is noticeable past the 200 yrd. mark. My suggestion if your buying it for a larger caliber, keep a multi-tool handy (leatherman or gerber). I always pack my Gerber when I head out away but you can make your adjustments with something as simple as a dime or penny. The NcStar's come with a cool little sighting target with their manuals and directions on how to make adjustments too.

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 bought my 10/22in 1969.Since then I have shot over 25,000 rounds thru it.The only time it has jamed was when I loaded a bent roumd.Used to carry my ammo in my pocket and one got bent.I have a Weaver K4 scope and an Uncle Mikes sling.Put in the recoil buffer and first shot noticedthe improvement.Good hunting.

Can't say on a 12 gauge for sure. I use on a 5.56 AR and its held zero just fine through many many mags. Also, for the money, even with the brightness on 1 you can point directly at the sun without washout of the reticle

I've had issue with it holding zero on my mini 14 so would be hesitant to put it n anything with more recoil.

Hi Daniel, this light is suited for any gun with a picitinny style rail as far as mounting (rifles, handguns, shotguns). As far as recoil, all pistol calibers are fine and most rifle calibers up to 5.55, 7.62 russian, and .308 nato should be fine, at least for a long while. The recoil of a 12ga is tough for any light, so i'm not sure how long it'd last, but i wouldn't be surprised if it did well. Cheers.

I do have one on a round sight of your caliber and it thus far seems to be working okay in practice. Will be using it hopefully as I go elk hunting next week. It seems fairly reliable on my targets.

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

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 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?
