[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 474212, member: 319"] I've done some scope swapping around and I've decided as a public service to you all, I shall test the 3.5-18X50's durability. I have mounted it on "The Original IOR Buster," the same rifle that broke three of the 3-18X42's and will use it there until my March gets here. [img]http://www.jonaadland.com/Hunting/IOR/3.5-18/PICT0045.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.jonaadland.com/Hunting/IOR/3.5-18/PICT0048.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.jonaadland.com/Hunting/IOR/3.5-18/PICT0080.JPG[/img] I'm shooting 240's at around 3000 fps and will be testing more 260's so if it can't handle recoil I'll find that out quickly. While heavier than I like for a carry rifle, it sure is nice to use at the range--all that weight soaks up some recoil. ;) The first group shot with it on this rifle was .25" which is the best group this rifle has shot with the new barrel so far. Of course I think that has more to do with the barrel finally being broken in and clean for once...though it does seem the best groups I shoot with this rifle always seem to come when there's a big IOR on top. Probably largely coincidence but there's just something about that floating dot I find really easy to shoot groups with: [img]http://www.jonaadland.com/Hunting/IOR/3.5-18/PICT0088.JPG[/img] If it turns to mush, I'll let you all know.
