The Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20mm Rifle Scope should be able to handle recoil from most rifles as it is shockproof. However, Leupold does not provide a specific recoil rating for this scope. I'd recommend reaching out to them directly for more information.

I've used these small Leupold 1.5 X 5 for years on large rifles. 375, 416 Wby & Rem, 458 Win & Lotts, knock on wood I haven't experienced a problem. After hundreds of shots I'd think that if it was a problem it would have shown up by now. Good hunting.
