[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5397840, member: 20060"] My theory is that the rifle, being made to absorb the recoil, minus what the shoulder takes, and the few moving parts, does fine, but some scopes are only made to take the recoil of whatever caliber rifle they are manufactured for. Since I have never seen it happen, or even heard anyone saying it destroyed my Leupold, Vortex, or even Bushnell, I can't be sure of the validity of my theory. I keep hearing stories about damage, but not sure there has been a study or compiled data as to which calibers or brands it affects. All I know is that my sled, with my rifles and scopes, do pretty good on getting zeroed in without my shoulder feeling like hamburger afterwards. Now having said that, if you have issues with loose/bad scope, or mounts it may make the process worse since you may blame the sled not the rifle or scope. And I always recommend shooting a string to confirm zero in a manner in which you would shoot while hunting, that is why all I use is a front bag and or just offhand. [/QUOTE]
