Scope for 458 Lott

[Grumulkin]

I plan to scope a CZ 550 Safari Magnum in 458 Lott.  My need is obviously a durable scope with good eye relief.  Does anyone have any recommendations; especially a scope that has worked for them in this situation?

FORGET ABOUT THE SCOPE.  EVERY ARTICLE I HAVE READ SAYS THAT THE RECOIL VELOCITY FOR THE LOTT THAT IT IS THE #1 SCOPE KILLER BAR NON   JOHN BARNESS SAID THAT 1 CUSTOM MAKER ( ECHOLS ) REFUSED TO MOUNT A SCOPE ON ANOTHER ONE AFTER NUMEROUS SCOPE FAILER NO MATTER WHAT BRAND WAS INSTALLED IF REQUESTED I WILL LOOK UP THE ARTICLE IN RIFLE & RELOADER MAGS

Get a Leupold Vara XIII or VXIII in 1.5X5. Great eye relief and should hold up to he heavy recoil. The good thing they are lighter scopes.

I mounted a Millett Buck Lightening Scope 1.5-6x 44mm Illuminated Plex Reticle Matte on my 460WBY.

So far I’ve fired 120 rounds, shot a whitetail Buck with the scope on and no movement of zero and it hasn’t fell apart yet.
 
The scope comes with a full replacement warranty so if it blows apart they will fix it.

I did call the factory and was told the scope would be fine on my rifle and if I had any problems to call them and they would make it right. So I felt confident about the purchase.

Here are the specs on the scope.

Tube Diameter: 1"
Objective (front) Diameter: 52mm
Ocular (rear) Diameter: 44mm

Adjustable Objective: No
Adjustment Click Value: 1/4 minute of angle
Eye Relief: 3.5"

Field of View at 100 Yards:
•  49 Feet at 1.5 Power
•  12 Feet at 6 Power

Lens Coating: Fully Multi-Coated

Length: 13.6"
Weight: 18 ounces

Notes:
•  Water, Fog, and Shockproof
•  See-Through Dust Covers Included
•  Illuminated Reticle is controlled by an 11 position rheostat and powered by a 3 Volt Lithium Battery.

Warranty:
•  Millett Lifetime Guarantee - Transferrable lifetime warranty against manufacturing or material defects.

Just remember if you install poor quality optics on your rifle they will blow apart.

Just for an experimental reasons I mounted a Tasco 4-12 (or something close to that the scope wouldn’t keep zero anymore) on the rifle before the Millett.

1st round the front glass loosed up.
 
2nd round the plex blew apart and the front glass fell out and shattered on the barrel.

Hope this helps.
