[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5397681, member: 20060"] I'll give it a shot, no pun intended. If you put it on a sled, and use say steel weights on it, the rifle will recoil, and the energy has to go somewhere, so instead of a shoulder, it gets pushed back into the rifle. Since the rifle can take it, maybe not some stocks, the scope takes some punishment. That is one of the reasons springer air rifles are scope killers, it recoils twice, forward then back, at least that's how I understand it. If you use sand, or in my case lead shot, the sled weights absorb the energy, not the weapon. [/QUOTE]
