This scope is AWESOME i mounted it on myNEF Handi-Rifle which is chambered in the500 S&W Magnum & its holding up to the monsterous recoil of this caliber i reload so i can shoot this caliber much more than someone who uses the expensive factory loads. I boresighted the scope whein it arrived & i even used the rings that came with the scope & they are holding zero perfectly & BELIEVE ME the rifle has a nasty kick & my Barska doesn't even break a sweat. The Euro Pro is a clear as a sunny summer day the IR is an extra feature that will no doubt come in handy early in the morings or at dusk. If your'e wanting a high end scope without the "high end" price themn look no futher than the Barska Euro Pro 3x12x56mm IR
