Thanks,I never had a scope that Icould see the end of the barrel with.Bigcountry,it makes sense that a recoil exspecially from a 30-06,one wouldn't see themuzzle blastthrough the scope.A friend thought it might damage the eye. I guess I will just go with it and see how it works out. the optics in the scope really looks good. Thanks for the information. If anyone else has this scope let me knowwhat you think of it. Thanks
