[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1428022, member: 12995"] I agree, but it is what it is... Install at your own risk. At least Vortex offers a lifetime no-questions asked warranty. That's worth something, right there. Muzzle brakes, and forward-pulled recoil-sprung rifles (like an FN FAL or a break-action pellet/bb gun) are absolutely horrible on scopes and will beat them to death with their funky forward recoil impulse. Not many scopes under $1,000 are built/designed to handle that type of recoil impulse, other than the SWFA SS scopes. The reason brakes are so bad on scopes, is because as soon as the bullet starts moving, the recoil impulse starts (unnoticed by the shooter), and the rifle starts moving backwards from inertia...But then by the time the bullet exits the muzzle, the gasses hit the muzzle brake, instantly snapping the gun forward from an already reverse motion. That instant transition at millisecond speeds will rattle the hell out some scope internals, and scope lenses that aren't screw-in types that have threaded reinforcement rings on the inside and outside of the lenses. The glue-in types can eventually rattle themselves apart. [/QUOTE]
