Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics The most recoil-proof rifle scope is...( enter your selection), and WHY?

My fieldcraft 7-08 just trashed another scope. This time a 3-9 sfwa SS. The 3-9 is my favorite SS but that's the 3rd one I've trashed. The fixed ones are definitely more reliable. The little 5 pound 7-08 is tough on scopes.

One company told me I tighten the rings too much. If I don't crank them down the scope slips on this light rifle.

I put another 3-9 on it. It's good thing I have extras because the other one must be going to Japan. They've had it for months. If it toasts another one I'll have to pull a fixed 6 off of something.

You should probably get rid of the rifle. If it helps, you can send the rifle to me. I can send you a shipping label if needed.
