Hi all:
So as I post this, I just purchased a howa 1500 short action in 223. I purchased a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire II ,3x9. It is currently mounted in a mp15-22. As I have a side red dot on that 22, a trs25; I want to use that scope in the new 223 bolt action. Will the scope take the recoil? I do practice at the range often. My new rifle may ship this week, but with shipping delay's and California laws, I am at least 2 plus weeks away. Although I would like to get a better scope, as I dont plan to push it beyond maybe 300 to 500 yds, most scopes I want are out of my range as I just purchased the rifle, but I really wanted it !! LOL as as I prefer bolts to my AR.
Any input is appreciated, my other scopes are also 3x9 from SIG, and i love them, but I dont want to unmount them from their current place.
