I purchased this red dod to mount on a CX4 40 S&W Carbine. Although the Carbine is light and you get some recoil with the 40 S&W its not extreme like a 44 mag or a 300+ rifle. The scope walks backwards on the mounts after 50 rounds and no matter how tight I make the mounting screws it still does. Nikon is sending me an extra set of mounting screws to try and keep it in place. I guess I expected more from a company like Nikon. A 22 mag is about the largest caliber I would recommend using this scope on.
Pros: The VSD and the clarity of the optics are great.
Cons: The mounting system on this unit is poor..it will not stand recoil
