[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1380599, member: 4191"] Muzzle brakes cause reverse thrust on rifle scopes. Initially the force to the scope is backwards toward the shooter. Next the muzzle brake pulls the rifle and scope forward, in the opposite direction. Scopes that survive on magnum muzzle brake equipped rifles must be designed to survive quick acceleration in both directions. Scopes used on rifles without muzzle brakes can survive with structural restraint design in only the rearward direction of acceleration. Because muzzle brakes are becoming so common, it seems as if decent scope manufacturers now design all their quality scopes to survive sharp acceleration in both directions. But not all scopes are equally tough. Nightforce has a good reputation for toughness. But even the occasional Nightforce scope has been reported to puke its guts. Riding atop a high powered rifle is a tough life. [/QUOTE]
