[QUOTE="SmallHoles, post: 1849923, member: 75944"] I have a .300 Weatherby Mag rifle, which with full loads generates nearly as much recoil as a .300 Win Mag. In November 2008 I mounted a Simmons Whitetail Classic Rifle Scope that cost $99.99 on it . I shoot it at my local gun club's 300 yard range and after 11 years of use I still get the sub-MOA accuracy Weatherby promises with my handloads. I've fired at least 300 rounds during that time. While I'm sure scopes costing north of $2,000 are fine units and superior in many ways to my thrifty Simmons scope, my experience does not bear out the blanket claim that inexpensive scopes can't stand up to heavy recoil.
