muzzlebrake scope killer?
« on: March 25, 2011, 04:44:29 PM »
Since we started shooting 1000+ yards and the bigger calibers it seems alot harder to find a scope that will
stay together. We have tore up almost every brand of scope and not the cheap ones, $1000 and up scopes.
I really think a good muzzlebrake is way harder on a scope than even an air rifle.  Anyone else notice this or have I just had a bad run of luck?

cant see where it would cause it but i sure dont know anything. One thing that is critical with heavy recoiling guns is using top quality mounts and rings and making sure your scope isnt in any kind of bind by misaligned rings.
