[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 607834, member: 39764"] I have a Vortex PST 4.5 on mine. Any scope with a lifetime guarantee (Ziess included) works fine..... at least it's returnable.... To the OP.... I'd pull the picatinny rail from the receiver prior to mounting any optic and reseat the hold down screws. I had 2 loose from the factory and the other 2 were not torqued properly. They need to be checked. Pull the rail entirely, clean the underside (it's radius milled to the receiver contour) and reseat and retorque the hold down screws. I put a dab of blue threadlocker on the end of each screw as well. The recoil on mine reminds me of a 12 gage slug gun. It's more of a push than a sharp slap. I've fired mine from the hip (don't ask why...) and it was very controlable. Don't recommend it, just had to be done..... It's heavy. So heavy in fact I'm getting a 111 lightweight hunter in WSM. Not wanting to lug a howitzer up and down mountains.... In reality, for the built in accuracy, it's a cheap date....:D [/QUOTE]
