ive got one on a Kimber Adirondak in 308.. super lightweight rifle (less than 6lbs loaded with the optic mounted).. its got more recoil than my 300 H&H...
probably 200 rounds through the Adirondak at this point.. no issues with the swaro at all..
its been to Africa.. hunted all over TX... and will be making a trip to chase elk in Idaho later this year.. I trust it completely..

Mine is a Z3 3-10x42 and has been on a couple of different rifles. It currently lives on a 308 bolt action practice rifle and has held up well for ~3k rounds in total.

Should be no problems. I have a Z3 3-9x36 on 5 pound Kimber in 300 WSM.

I've been hunting and shooting all my life in So Cal. Luckily, I've passed it on to my son who does his thing on the East coast except when we get together for some outdoor activities. I shoot just about anything that goes bang including rifle, shotgun and muzzleloaders. I've scratch-built several flint rifles and a couple of pistols and rebuilt several old muzzlestuffers for friends.
