How is this scope on a field weapon in a bigger caliber? I have a Weatherby .308 I plan to use for hunting here in the Colorado wild. Thanks!

I have one mounted on my 7mm-08 (used to be on my 17hmr) for 2 years now with 250+ rounds down range and in the field - 200 yard zero and never had to adjust it. love it!!

I've used this Mueller scope on both a Ruger 10-22 and a Remmington 770 in .30-06 with good results.

I would have little problem using this scope on a light recoiling hunting rifle, but it would not be my first choice. I have only used this scope on a .22. The eye relief is a little short for a rifle with a little "jump" to it. I would prefer a scope with more forgiveness in the eye relief department so I would not be compromised in a quick shot situation. Any of the Leupolds and High end Nikons and Bushnell Elite scopes would be preferable in my opinion. For a varmint rifle or a nice .22, the Muellers are a great value and very clear.

I don't know how this scope will handle the shock of a higher caliber since I put mine on a .17 HMR. I like the scope for the price. Make sure you get high scope mounts because the AO on the bell increases the bell diameter tremendously and if you don't get tall enough mounts you may also have interference with the bolt handle. The optics are very clear except at the very top end (14X) where you'll start seeing some aberration but not too bad. Let's remember...this is not a $600 leupold or $1000 Zeiss but for the money, these are good scopes.

Jim, I mounted this scope on my .300 BLK and I have about 1,000 round through it and it hasn't moved. I sighted it in the day I got it and haven't adjusted it since and it's always been dead on. I know .308 is a little more recoil but I think you should be fine with it. I've tested this scope pretty thoroughly. Good luck, hope you get it.

I mounted my Accushot scope on a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme 177 caliber to test the strenght of the internals of the scope. After 750-1000 rounds it still is very accurate at 40 yards. After my test, I would not mind putting it on a 300 win mag. As a hunting scope in low light conditions it is good for the money. I like the lighted rec.

I have this scope on a 270 Weatherby and it seems to be holding just fine. The "zero" has not changed in the past year or shooting of approximately 120 rounds.

Although I don't have a Colt .308 I would say yes. This scope is rock solid on its mounts and has held zero on my .223 for well over a 1000 rds. I have it doped to where I'm hitting pop cans from 100 yds even though red dots are typically to be used for closer range. At 50 yds, I take out golf balls. I'd say go for it.

Yes, I used this on a 308 as well. Great scope for the money. I can easily shoot .5 now.

Using this scope on a .308 is a good choice. They are very well built and reliable. I use one on a 300 Winchester Magnum which has about 30% more recoil than a .308.

I installed on an AR10 .308. So far I've put 200+ through the gun, and its holding great. I love it. I have it zero'd at 200yds, and have shot accurate to 500.

I've hunted pigs in the rain with this scope on several occasions and it never failed. Got a big pig last weekend at 0440hrs and it was wet & freezing... No worries mate!

Anyone use this on the SACR 17 in .308?Looks like an amazing defense, hog hunting and paper punching scope.

I don't have enough knowledge of that rifle. I put mine on a Ruger M77. Have only used at range, still sighting it in. No field use yet.

I been shooting with this scope on my Sig, 7.62X51 and I have had no problems with it, actually I love this on both the AR15 & AR10. Great scope & very durable. I've used it hog & deer hunting and it stays dead on target. Good shooting & happy & safe holidays.

I have one just like this on a M700 SPS .308. It is an amazing scope for the money. Holds zero real well. I would buy the base SWFA or millet recommends for it. You will NOT regret buying this, I own 3

I can see snowballs roll down the side of the mountains which are approximately 2 miles away with my Leupold. Hits on a target at 200 yards should be super clear/visible. You will need a tripod to keep the spotting scope from swaying.

Yeah rem-700, hows 1500 and the weatherby's are built pretty similar. Be warned w/ this stock on a large cal. Rifle.I went from original wood to this stock on a 7mm mag. Recoil was ridiculous. Made it hard for a turn around shot if you didn't get a good shot the first time.

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I sent my bone collector back because I had good Hawke optics (check them out, real nice lenses, just get one rated for airguns) ... well long story short this thing was shooting randomly with real bad groupings, I'm talking 6 inches at 25 yds. If you can still send it back, look at the Crosman offerings, I got a cheaper crosman springer that was deadly accurate with the same scope.

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.
