Will this tolerate the recoil from 300 grain 458 socom rounds? The manuals indicates the recoil resistance is “700g” whatever the heck that means. — 1 Answer

Answering my own question. I spoke with FLIR and they said the predator tops out with .300 Remington Ultra Mag recoil. So it isn’t technically rated for 458 socom, but the loading of 458 socom I use has less recoil energy than standard 300 RUM loads.
