RE: Can my scope handle the recoil???
You'll probably be fine with the Burris. However, John Barnsess (writer, gunsmith, overall gun looney) has stated that for the higher recoiling rigs he likes Bushnell Elite 4200's. Not that he's a genius or anything, but he is very knowledgable and qualified to render such judgements. He certainly knows a heck of alot more than I do! Good luck.
