I've used the FX-II on a Steyr Scout. It was a good scope, the ones that come on the Scout have a heavy duplex so there was no issue seeing the reticle. This rifle was in .308 and I traded up to the Scout in .376 Steyr. Unfortunately, I run an Aimpoint on that rifle so I can't tell you if the FX-II would hold up to the recoil.
