Not exactly big recoil, but I have a few 308's that get shot a lot. I buy Nosler and Hornady match bullets by the thousand several times a year, and 8 lb. jugs of "4895" speed powders too. Two newer variable Leupolds get a lot of that use, both 6.5-20x40LR 30mm tube models, one VX-III and one VX-3. Never a hiccup.
