i just won a leupold fx-ll 2.5x20mm and would like to install this on my 375 H&H ruger number 1..

the only thing is im used to buying vxlll or higher top end scopes will this fx-ll with stand the recoil or should i get rid of it and get sumthing better.?

If there's a tougher model Leupold then the fixed 2.5x ... I'll go heee.

This is the scope recommended for the 'real rifles'. It'll be just fine!
Cheers...

I use one on my .500 A-Square and it has stood up so far with no problems. Light and tough.

They are all kept to the same standards as to handling recoil. No need to have a second thought.

thanks for the replies i just wasnt shure and i dont like to second guess my self.

ill be bringing it out to hinton area in mid-northern laberta next week for last part of the general deer/bear season/elk.... gonna see what i can tag with it.

Hey 700 nitro,

Did you ever get your 505 Breeding rifle? I love to see a pic of it when he gets done. Ryan does a great job on his rifles. he had to wipe a few of them down after I got thru fingering them at SCI.

I had one for a backup on my 404jeffery. Very solid scope. BTW, scopes do withstand recoil diff. Bigger scopes take more of a pounding. The little 2.5x is pretty light, less to knock about internally. It may be too short for your #1 though.

505 ed yes i do have my 505 ryan breeding rifle iv had it for over a year now.

i love the rifle very solid very well build and i highly recomend his work.

unfortunaly i dont have any pics but there is a pic of it on his web site its the left hand synthetic 22" barrel gun no scope just irons

i thru the 2.5 on the ruger number 1 so far it works great good eye relife and is plently long enuff for the rings to grab it.

Nice to see you posting again 700. Have not heard from you in a while. Hope you like the 505 have you hunted anything with it yet???

i havnt really had a chance to post much i work a normal 60-70 hr work week and any spare time i do have is spent in the woods hunting deer/elk/bear.... or anything thats open.

i have shot a few things this the 505 a wight taild deer buck 10 point at my cottage and a smaller 8 point with my cousin on his property.
and 2 coyotes.

a little over kill but hey i didnt spend all that money to let it sit in the safe lol.

hopfully if everything gose to plane next year ill have enuff money to do a triple cow elephant hunt .

if im gonna go im not just goona go for one i want 2 or more.

I knew you had been working a lot of hours. I have been in contact with a buddy of yours and we are swapping 2 bore info. John Collier has contacted me several times and we have talked quite a bit. Good luck with setting up the elephant hunt. I thinks its wise to do a multiple while you are over there.

Strongest scope around...I have one on my 600!

I have the same scope on my Ruger #1 450/400 and love it. Only have a hundred rounds through it so far, but it is performing great. Getting ready for August 2009 ele/buff hunt with it.
