I have a rifle scope on my HSP 325 WSM & it kicks like a stiff legged mule (even with the brake). Knowing how far back from the scope you need to be takes practice at the range. ALWAYS & I mean ALWAYS !!! wear shooting eye-ware. Too close and you will have a nice scar on the eyebrow or worse.
Is it worth it"" you bet"" I now use only rifle scopes on all of my HSP's
