[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 973280, member: 8873"] And then some, maybe a scout scope! A few days ago I was messing with my rifle that has this very scope mounted atop. I was playing with a load sending a 650 grain bullet at 1700 fps and shooting from the prone w/bipod and rear bag. The 10+ pound rifle with suppressor was recoiling hard enough to make the scope contact my safety glasses, not pleasant at all. I did a quick numbers check on an online recoil calculator and a .416 Weatherby has even more recoil. I have never been recoil sensitive but after about 20 rounds my eyes wouldn't focus properly.
