will this scope withstand recoil from a muzzleloader shooting 450 grain

In all fairness, all makers list by heir scopes as being recoil proof, but never list what might be a max caliber. I would think with all my testing with several different calibers I would not be worried at all . It's a great scope at a good price point and I feel you would be fine. Like everything we buy, we take a gamble, and with the background of this maker you should be good to go ! If I am wrong feel free to blast me accordingly !

From previous ownership and use - not suggested. The internals just did not survive recoil - based upon 145-168 grain in .308. Also, very poor optical quality/clarity's not this one.

According to vortex's website "Shockproof High recoil rating. Tested with .375 H&H; Magnum for 1000 rounds." So yes it should be just fine. Also vortex's warranty is unconditional. If you break it they will give you a new one. I love mine.

Yes based on the manual that comes with it the recoil is to much for the scope. I was going to put it on my 30-06 but put it on my 243 instead.

Probably, however, I would get a scope more designed for heavy recoil. Typically a low power scope . A 45-70 is not a long range rifle .

Well at first I thought this was a very good scope for the money but only had maybe 400 rds through it and cross hairs broke loose, I don't know if there is anything that that can take pounding of a 44 mag. I would look at other options

The gun I put the scope on was a gamo shadow fox 1250 that shot about 850 fps with the lead pellets I was using and didn't make it past ten shots. The reverse recoil just tore it up as well as 4 other low end scopes. I put a Bushnell on it and it holds up.

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..

Hey brother. I'm not too sure if it will withstand the recoil of the .223/5.56. I have an MP 15-22. I returned this optic and bought the TRS 25 red dot with the UTG medium riser. It cowitnesses perfectly with the Magpul BUIS. This a great combo that's effective and very cost effective too. Spend a little extra cash if you can. Don't look to this Leapers sight.

I have put 200-300 rounds through my Colt .22 rifle with this scope, no issues at all with the scope holding position. The mounts are sturdy and the scope seems very well built. I would have no hesitation to use it with hotter loads/higher calibers.

I had to replace mine with a better scope. because it didn't handle. 308 recoil. I wouldn't get it

Yes. Have been using this model scope on .50 caliber muzzleloader for over 5 years. Very pleased with performance of these scopes.

Hi. So far so good and I shot about 100 shots with it. I have it on my Benjamin Genesis gas piston air rifle so the recoil isn't bad on it at all. But the scope over all seems very solid, much better then the CenterPoint scope I had originally.

The scope was designed with ballistics for the .30-06 with a 180 grain bullet. The scope has a 50 yard zero with holdover hash marks for ranges of 300, 400 and 500 yards. I've mounted mine on an Arsenal AK with milled receiver. I use 150 grain 7.62x39 hand loads, and the scope is perfect.

Have not shot it yet but on a low recoil AR in .223 I don't think there will be a problem

My guess would be that it would be OK, but I can't say 100% that it would stand up to years of recoil from a .300 Win Mag. I shoot heavy loads in my .45-70, and I find that lower-end scopes usually don't last long under that kind of beating. If you're planning on a lot of shooting with the .300WM, I'd suggest moving up to a Leupold or something equivalent.
