I need opinions on mounting this scope on my 45/70, would it hold up to the recoil?

I put on a Rossi 35-70 and I have ran a couple of boxes of shells through it and it's held up fine.

I checked a reloading reference book since I wasn't familiar with this caliber. I mounted on a CZ 512 22 WMR and it's a good fit. Rossi 35-70 is a much lighter bullet than your 45-70 and my book doesn't reveal 35-70 chamber pressure. I can't say, wish I were smarter. Good luck.

Though I am extremely impressed with this scope I myself have mounted it to a ruger 10/22 . Very little recoil but for the 22 it a perfect match

It is a great scope but I don't know us it would hold up to the 30-06 recoil. Sorry I could not help you.

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.

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

I had it on ar-15 and it worked fine, no issues, hard to say on a 12 gauge, but I bet itll hold up, for 304 its worth it, reticle as good as any

Yeah it mounts on m4. I will have to say that the recoil on m4 might be to much for this UTG

Hmm Have had it on a FNAR 308 ,AR and AK. It holds up fine. Nice scope - good glass - and just a really good fit and feel on guns like that .Its a good by no regrets - Good luck

I had this scope on my AR but did not like the look. It functioned fine but for close range more than was needed and not practical. If you only use your AR for longer ranges then I would be fine. Recoil not an issue.

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.

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.

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

It will take the recoil but it's a junk sight that I don't recommend. Hard to initially zero, but it holds the zero well. Buy a better sight-you'll be happier..

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 don't know about mount for it but I have mine in a Ruger .308 scout rifle and it handles that recoil and stats zeroed. Hope that helps.

Yes. That's what i mounted it on. It GREATLY reduced the recoil. You won't be disappointed.

It has a place where you mount a tripod but I don't think it will hold up to the recoil from the M4. Also it's focused manuly. I would check out sportmansguide.com they have a good selection. Look at Item #: WX2-187118Good place to start.
