On this optic, with the sunshade installed, the E-10 and the O-50 would be the best fit!

Does this scope support recoil from a 300 win mag?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on December 29, 2021

The Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x50mm has no exact recoil rating and most manufacturers do not offer a recoil rating on their standard rifle scopes. This is a durable optic and should not have any issues on just about any centerfire cartridge including magnum calibers.

The Vortex Crossfire II AO 4-12x50 mm Riflescope can be mounted using an assortment of different mounting options. Keep in mind, the tube diameter is 1inch and I would recommend high or extra high rings. A link to a category with many options for this rifle is provided below.
