Oct 13 2014 for anyone still using this on their center fires (.243 and higher cals) are there any issues? Approx.how many rounds w/ scope on?

I am an avid hunter and long range shooter. This is one GREAT scope* I have been shooting from age six through Vietnam era in Canada to south Texas. This is really one impressive scope. For target and varmint hinting, I have fired from my Browning .243 about300 rounds and have had NO Complaints. I cant believe this quality for the price. (Buy It).

So far around 500 rounds between a 223 a 762x39 and a 7 mm and no issues at all, minor adjustment to zero

I got the scope for my husband he likes to go out and go target practicing a lot . it works out pretty good for him that's something that I would very highly recommend it makes him happy.

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.

Yes, it is and it's been well worth it. I don't know your firearm or the setup that you feel you're going to get but I could help you out with this issue. I shoot almost ALL see throughs with my scopes. I had an issue way back when, when my scope got hit on a set of low mounts; i.e. non see throughs. I was out of the fight until I got another rifle ........ lesson learned! Wayne

I would want a more dependable brand of laser and mount for the heavy cal...i tried it with my .458 socom and the laser loses its set point...had another on my .556 that worked perfectly for months, then i switched it to the socom when the other went loose, and it did the same thing...great product for smaller cal, not for heavy recoil...good luck!

I have not had any problem, I have shot hundreds if 9mm, 40sw, and 45acp fmj at mine, even shot 7.62x39 with no damage

Yes and I've shot the gun with both calibers for about a year now and am very satisfied. "note" for about the first 30 to 50 shots may not be real accurate, so after about 20 to 30 shots re-site your scope again and it will shoot a better group!

Hello, I have this brake on a 243 an it is louder than my 308. Probably a 25 -30 decibel increase in sound at the area of the shooter. I cant speak to the increase in muzzle flash haven't shot at night yet. As to performance for the brakes function, the smith that put the brake on an threaded the barrel tested it an said it feels like a 22 magnum for recoil. I agreed with him, completely lets me stay on sight picture with my scope for instant follow up shots. I hunt coyotes. This brake had a bullet thru hole diameter of .279 so it was no problem using it on a 243 since recommended clearance is .025. Sorry your main reason is to be showy, but after you use a good brake on a gun you will probably change that. Yes at the range people with no ears plugs in are going to Know you are there. A more "flashy" looking brake that I prefer is the VG6 Epsilon 556 It works as a flash hider an brake. I have the VG6 on a 5.56 an its loud as hell to but shoots like a .22 plinker recoil. Hope this helps. G luck

Kristen I can't answer or explain other folks' problems no more than I can answer if their scopes were mounted correctly. I can say that I've never had problems of any kind with UTG equipment other than their rheostats being a bit irritating sometimes. So far, I've not had any problems with the scope in question. The scope has performed perfectly from day one and I've put a bunch of rounds down range and it remains perfectly reliable. Is it the equal of a $2000.00 scope....obviously not, but it does work quite well and the glass is satisfactory. Just my cents worth. Paul

Your .308 has a little more punch than my .223 - I found if you change the muzzle brake - it will calm it down quite a bit and help hold everything together better. I actually dropped my AR and it landed on the scope - after a quick dustoff - and a re-sighting - I was good to go. I usually check my scope for tightness after about every 40 rounds - 2 magazines.

I've got a few of them one on a big bore air rifle one on a 300 blackout one on a 22-250 one one a 7mm08 the only issue I have with them is that on some of them when you receive them the illumination adjustsments doesnt work properly on two of mine they come one the brightest setting no matter what number you put it on the other two work fine Since I don't hardly use the IR it's not a big deal to me I wouldnt recommend putting it on any simi auto caliber larger than a 6.8 spc do to the jarring affect of them overall it's well worth the money and as long as you put it on a bolt action 308 you should be fine . Ps buy yourself a good set of rings the ones that come with it are not good for anything on a 308 I would recommend a set of Millets or Leopolds unless it's a Ruger rifle then you have to use special rings anyway also remember when buying rings you want to keep your scope as close to your rifle as possible . I hope this info was helpful

I would recommend this scope. I use it on a .308 and it holds under a 1 inch group at 100. I've also shot out past 400 and had equally accurate results. The reticle is very crisp and the magnification covers a good range.

I have used one on a 22 mag for 2 years, put about 800 rounds through it and it works great. Stays zeroed, but you have to keep the scope rings tightened and use loctite blue with rimfire. The AO is good when shooting at both 50 and 100 yds. Great scope for the money.

I have one on my mini-14, which also has a bit of recoil. I like the scope, but I have to re-zero every time I go out. My advice would be to save a little extra money and go for a Nikon Prostaff. Excellent glass, inexpensive, and isn't bothered by recoil. I have one on my .308 that I just love.

I sighted mine in from 30 yards using the stock sights and not the scope, and I do know that this gun is not a toy. If I want to shoot something over 50 yards, I will be using a different gun.

I've used one for years and it is extremely durable. I've been hand loading 7.62 and using this scope for years and I've never had an issue. It has been used in the field for decades under horrible conditions and has a great track record. I haven't used it personally w .338 win. mag., but I've done some things to this scope I'd be embarrassed to put into writing and it has always kept zero and functioned correctly.

I put one on a Gamo whisper pellet rifle as a replacement for the factory one as the reticle had moved after a few hundred shots. I have run about 50 pellets through the gun since installing the scope with no issue. During sighting, we were shooting pop tops off of cans at 20 yards. Still one-shot on squirrels months later. My rifle is spring and piston and worry about scopes, at this price I have been satisfied..no real complaints from me yet.

I had one of these on a centerfire riflr and the scope was fine. I would replace the mounts that came with the scope and get some better quality ones.
