would this hold up to shotgun recoil?

In using this product for several months the only issue I see with it is I find myself re zeroing it in a lot. The allen wrenches provided stick and when you take them out you sometimes see the point move. The mount is sturdy. The bright green laser is intimidating. It's cheap for a green laser so it's really more for a psychological "halt" effect rather than accurate placement device.

To add. For around 50 bucks more you could get a LaserLyte CM-15 Center Mass Kryptonyte Laser Sight. This is made for a shotgun showing a green laser shot pattern which is supposedly pretty accurate.

I have not mounted mine to an AR platform. I have a KSG with only 250 rounds fired with this site on it. So far, it is holding up to the pounding that weapon gives.

Yes I believe so. All the videos I watched in prep for purchase of this showed people purposely dropping it from good heights onto the optic and purposely trying to damage the piece. They would then pick it up and it held zero. So my answer is haven't tried in a shotgun but it has held on my rifle which has over 150 rounds of 223 thus far.

If the rail is a standard size it'll hold tight. I don't know how long it'll last at the range though. A friend had one in his .45 and it only lasted through two full magazines.

mine is on an AK 47 above the gas tube and holds up fine to the heat, there would be a little shock to the unit in this spot but probably not as much as on the slide of a semi auto pistol. I would say that it will do fine, it is an Aimpoint after all.

I put this on my 12 GA Mossberg 500 with 20" barrel and it has held just fine. I have had the scope on there since around January of this year and I have shot slugs, 00 Buckshot, 3" Turkey loads, bird shot, etc. and it has held zero the entire time. I love this scope and I don't see you having a problem with the recoil. I should note that I do have my shotgun customized with a ATI talon pistol grip and adjustable stock system which does take a lot of the recoil away. They have those for the Remington 870 also if you are interested. I hope this helped. Let me know if I can answer anything else.

Not in my opinion. The scope doesnt have enough eye relief for a heavy recoiling rifle. These scopes are a bottom of the barrel optic from a great company, mine had issues out of the box. Wont be buying any more cheap Burris optics. You are better off springing for the US made $300-400 versions from Burris, way better quality and materials than the overseas produced models like this.

If it has aroubd 2" of picatinny rail - yes. But recoil may beat it up? It is clear and crisp. But not heavy duty. I wouldn't trust mine for hunting or self defense. Range toy - yes.

I own a couple of these scopes. I have them mounted on low recoil rifles such as a .243 and 5.56. Im not sure how well it could withstand the recoil of a 30-06. sorry

Sure, I have mine mounted on a 300 win. Mag. No issues with recoil, I'm sure it could handle the recoil of 30-06

I would think so. Pretty sturdy, stands up to real firearms. Just don't overtighten the mounting screw, it may damage your frame.

Yes. The scope is actually sprung airgun rated which means it can hold up to pretty serious and eccentric recoil. It can be used on most rifles with no issues.

do you have a good mount? mine works well on my ar but a shotgun hits a little harder. I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

think recoil would quickly ruin it. there are some at the same price or less that I have found that mount on the barrel an legs rotate up out of the way when not in use that would work better

I use it for my AKM, which it works great for, I would think with shotgun, there could be some play up and down, my Browning sticks out too far for my tastes.

It will take the recoil but it's a junk sight that I don't recommend. Hard to initially zero, but it holds the zero well. Buy a better sight-you'll be happier..

I have moved it around several times without any failures. It was 1st on Kel-Tec sub 2000, then AR, and finally Ruger Mk lll and it has preformed very well in these applications. Can't say how it would be on a shotgun (haven't tried). My sub 2000 is 40 cal. and has very noticeable recoil, but not like 12 ga.
