I am buying a Redfield 3X9 for my .45-70 to replace the one that has been transplanted to my Mosin camo target rifle.
My question is about whether the scope can handle the recoil of this round.
Anyone have any experience using this scope on a howitzer? The reviews are glowing, but none says they've mounted it on this kind of cannon.
I'm chasing the lower magnification because I know I won't be shooting this rifle past 200 meters. Likely only 150m, so I put the much higher magnification on the 7.62x54r rifle whose ballistics do not require shimming the scope for long range as opposed to short range.
Curious. Anyone?
