JoeR,
Once again we clash

I have personally trashed a box of fine expensive scopes on the 458 Lott and larger calibers, as have all those who have actually shot them considerably..A scope will last from 6 to 250 rounds on a Lott and if its has a muzzle brake then it won't normally last that long....The one exception just may be the Leupold 2.5 Compact as the adjustments have been set under the turrets and they seem to take the recoil, at least I was not been able to trash that little bugger so far and I shot it perhaps 350 times or more before I sold the rifle.......

I suggest everyone read Rifle Magazine #135, The 458 Lott, by G. Sitton with comments by David Miller of scope destruction on that caliber...My findings coincide with theirs...

I have used the Lott a good deal on Cape Buffalo, but I finally opted for a receiver or peep sight as that's about as far as its shoots anyway, about 200 yards is max and a peep or a V is fine up to 200 yards on Buffalo IMO.....I always figure what Murphey is up to and make allowances for that...
