Recently purchased a Vortex Diamondback 2-7x35. Didn’t realize until now that it is a “rimfire” model. I had been hoping to put it on one of my 308s. Now, I know that rimfire scopes usually have a closer parallax setting than centerfire scopes, but that isn’t a huge concern to me. I have shot scopes with 100yd parallax from 25yd-500yd without too much issue, and most of my shots are under 100yd anyways.

My bigger concern, is how it will handle recoil. Does anyone have experience with this? I doubt it’ll break on me on the first shot, but I don’t want issues while putting several rounds through it to sight in, or to have to replace it or send it back for repairs during hunting season. If a 308 is too much, would a 30-30 be out of the question as well? Thanks guys.
