My 18 year old Bushnell 1.5-4.5 x 20 Shotgun Scope on My 1895 .444 Marlin, has almost died. Can't focus anything much after 1.5X Also can't group under 6" @50 yds I recon it's stuffed. I have found this replacemant Leupold VX-HOG 1-4x20mm Riflescope....USD$215-USD$230 Can this handle the recoil ? Any comments would be greatly appreciated ps I have trouble with red dot, and holographic sights
Im pretty sure it could handle the recoil,someone will chime in on this that has more experience with the scope. Leupold has a lifetime warranty http://www.leupold.com/resources/leupold-warranty-infomation/
I submitted your question to Leupold as I was curious also. We'll see what their marketing people say. Although, I am sure we can all guess.
Leupold's response (http://youtu.be/TPmyEusUhIM?t=1s) : Fred, All Leupold scopes will easily handle the recoil of a .444 magnum, the VX-Hog is no exception. Use with confidence. Best Regards, Ryan
