Nope. Mine is on a Steyr 30-06 which is plenty light and I shoot a 200 gr bullet so it kicks about like my 300 win mag.

No problems yet.

I've got a 3-12x56 on a .300 Win Mag which gets handled pretty roughly, so far it's held up for 3 or 4 years and a couple of hundred shots, but this is just one example.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

Mounted properly, most of the better scopes will hold up just fine under virtually any type of recoil. Granted, there are exceptions to every rule, but correctly mounting the scope is equally as important -- if not moreso --than the actual structural integrity of the scope itself.
