Does anyone have experience with this scope on 30-06 Ruger ? Planning to shoot 200 - 500 yds

Not on a 30-06 but on a mosin nagant which packs similar or equal recoil and it did ok but I would go with something a little better next time.

I had it on a 25-06. Traded it out for a scope that had numbers on the turrets so it is easier to change zero for different ammo. No way to index the turrets on this scope other than actually counting clicks.

It takes a little of lining up not a lot compare to other scopes. I used it for my 30-06 and works great.

I wouldn't recommend the scope for shots longer than 250 yards. this is definitely not for precision shooting, it's more so for hunting.

Short answer is, yes it will be fine and a great scope. Long answer.... I have it on an FNH FNAR .308 and it does great. I have fired a few hundred rounds through it for both hunting and target shooting. It has so far held zero, even with removal and replacement (I have QD rings). It is great bang for the buck. I have had far more expensive scopes I loved much less than this one. The FNAR is guaranteed to be Sub-MOA accurate and I have no problem achieving this with this scope. Maybe I'm Lucky, but I LOVE THIS SCOPE. Btw with the QD rings, I at most get a .25" shift straight down @ 100 yards and that is only because I was in a hurry and just threw it on. If I really pay attention and make sure I seat it back right, there is absolutely no shift.

Hi. So far so good and I shot about 100 shots with it. I have it on my Benjamin Genesis gas piston air rifle so the recoil isn't bad on it at all. But the scope over all seems very solid, much better then the CenterPoint scope I had originally.

It recommends low profile but I was unable to do so due to interferences with my rear sights. It will depend to some degree on your rifle. I placed it on an old 30-06. I have it sighted at 100 yards but do not have a longer range to try out the scope calibrations. I did get the VZR. At 100 yards, using the 500 yard cross hair, the impact point was around 11.5" high. I used a trajectory calculator and that appears to be close to what it should be at 100 yards to impact center at 500.

Yes. I have it on a .223 and usually shot at the 300 yard range. This scope can easily reach beyond the range if my rifle. Should be great for a 30-06.

Like a champ. You may need a rail to mount it to. Not sure what yours comes with for scope mounting. I have one on a Ruger 10\22 and it works great. I'm shooting 200 yards. Nice magnification and pretty good optics for $50 bucks. Aim Sports was great to work with and good fast service. You may need a scope mount which you can also get from Aim sports and probably have it all by the end of the week. Good luck and happy shooting.

I have had this scope on my remington 700 30-06 now for over a year with about 400 rounds through it. This scope not only works well I have only had to adjust my scope once in the past year and that was do to a 8 foot drop after a pig chased me up a tree. And the correction was very minor. Great scope.

I have 2- both on Ruger American 22 mag. & 223 Rem. Very accurate out to 100 yds. my longest available range. Excellent scope for the price, easy sighting in

I don't have a 30-06 but I have been using this scope for a few years now and it serve me well for what I use it for

I purchased this scope to go on my M4. I have been shooting .223 with a 16" barrel. The scope works great the only issue I have with the mount is the screws come loose. However a little lock tight and I was back in business. I think it would work fine but I have not used this scope shooting a .308 or 30.06. Good Luck...

I have had good accuracy at 400 yards, even 600 yards with good ammo, good rifle and no wind. It is a fine scope and I really like the BDC reticle.

Scope choice is, of course, dependent on what you plan to do with your rifle. This scope would be a fine choice for hunting out to medium range (say, 350 yards) with a .30-06. It does not come with scope covers, however, Leupold, Butler Creek and others have many models suitable for this scope.

I'm shooting at a 100 yard outdoor range, so it's not a problem for me at that distance. Can't vouch for beyond that. Most shooters I know use a scope for beyond 100 yards, and a red-dot like Lucid's HD7 for CQC and less than 100 yard engagements.

Best scope I own. I'm zeroed at 400 yards and have not had make many adjustments. I use a mil dot master slide.

It's a nice durable scope. I've read some people's reviews using it on their .308's and their .30-06's. I've got mine on just a .223 and the only problem I ran into was the scope mounts it came with. I had a hard time getting the fine tuning I wanted at 100yd. The mounts it comes with are see through. Two people besides myself tried to sight it in as well. With my previous scope using Winchester sliver tip ballistics I could group 3 shots the size of a dime. With this scope on none of us could get it that well dialed in. We all felt it was the mounts causing the issue. I've put new mounts on but sadly haven't been back out to try again. It's defiantly nice for the price with great zoom and view.
