I put a TrophyXLT, without the hinky logo, on a Howa mini in 7.62x39 for my grandson to use. So far, so good, and no chasing POI while sighting in. Have a 4-12 and a 1.75-4 as well. Never an issue. The most I ever paid for one is $131 for the 4-12AO. That same model has been on my son's 77/22V since 1997, again without issue.
What heavy recoil might do to one, I don't know.
Check with Doug at CL on a Burris FF2 and Natchez for discontinued Weaver V7s. The 3-9 Trophy I bought was $70 from CDNN.
