will this scope handle the recoil of a .338 win mag.

Yes it will. It was developed for the Win. .308 rnd. for the M14. I have one mounted on a Barrett .50 Cal. and have had no problems so far, two years use.

Rick...I have the ART M-1000 mounted on my SIG 5.56 DMR. I have fired a exactly 125 rounds with it on the gun. No problems at all.

I've used one for years and it is extremely durable. I've been hand loading 7.62 and using this scope for years and I've never had an issue. It has been used in the field for decades under horrible conditions and has a great track record. I haven't used it personally w .338 win. mag., but I've done some things to this scope I'd be embarrassed to put into writing and it has always kept zero and functioned correctly.

I have one mounted on a 308 and it handle that like nothing. However I haven't tried it on that caliber so your guess is as good as mine. I would call up leatherwood and ask.

Yes this scope will take the recoil. This is a very heavy rugged product. Be careful on the scope height. You will need a way to adjust your cheek weld. The company recommends a 0 moa rail to mount this on. I hope this help you out.

probably yes. Mine is touchy in the ammo load department it maybe due to old spring used.this stock made a 1943 relic that would not group into a accurate rifle at 100 yds with a good scope.
1687359
Yes, I have 4 of these they work great. For the price there the best bang for the buck. Have it on a 338 a 308 and a couple ar's no problems to date

Not so sure. This is an air rifle scope and it is set up for air gun recoil. My scope is on a gamo air rifle. Better check out scopes made for .22 regular rifles.
1087422
Yes it will. The only shortcoming is when you try to pull really light all copper bullets from , say a .243 Win. That takes alot of pounding!

Don't know if the scope can take the recoil, but be aware that the scope's eye relief is rather short. The scope has a flexible rubber eye cup on it. I wear glasses, so my eyeglass lens is pressed hard against the eye cup to see into the scope. I would not want this on an '06. Mine's on a .357 mag rifle.

I have my scope mounted on my .270. Winchester 760 Game master. .270 is a necked down 30-06 with a velocity of 2524 to 2833 (max load) fps.Your .338 Mag velocity is in the 2489 to 2950 (max load) fps range. That being said the banner scope works great on my .270 with about the same velocity as your .338 Mag. Hope that helps you out. (Side note the 50mm lens is a little sun senstive)

I have it on a 300 RUM that recoils harder than any 50 BMG I've shot and it is holding up fine.
1290860
Best answer I can give is compare your .338 case to a .45, at the base. It should work just fine.
18625
.338 Yes. I have personally used it on 2 different models. On 50cal it may be a bit light, I have not tried though. .
211495
Yes I have it mounted on a 5.56 with a muzzle brake. Not alot of recoil but more than a .22. You may have a bad switch.
1463564
Don't know. Mine lasted fewer than 60 rounds before the front casing severed completely spilling parts and batteries all over the range. It definately wasn't up to any recoil. I wasn't even using it for those 60 because every shot caused it to change point of aim. Sadly I wasn't to the range to learn in time to send it back. Don't be a fool like I was...
1235852
Yes. I have it on a .223 and usually shot at the 300 yard range. This scope can easily reach beyond the range if my rifle. Should be great for a 30-06.
1240566
Should work fine. My BSA scope is mounted on a Mosin Nagant M44 and it works fine it can take the recoil!
272249
It is a very durable scope, so it might handle .50BMG. As for windage and elevation, I think it may do fine out to 1000 yards where .50BMG is accurate to, though 2 1/2 mile shots have been made with .50 BMG.
1573472
It held up to the recoil of my 308, 270wsm, and 243 win. I imagine, it shouldn't have any problem holding up to an air rifle. Beware, this thing is huge. It might look a little odd on your air gub

I don't know for absolute certainty. As you most likely know, the "recoil" on a spring powered gun is reverse. You are wise to be cautious. My guess is that, as it is marketed as an air rifle scope, it is most likely able to take this reversed recoil situation. I would urge you to dig deeper. Sorry I can't tell you more.
