I have one on my 300wsm. I love it. The gun shoots like a 223 auto. If you decide on getting one, do plan on using hearing protection. When I was sighting mine in, I tookmy earplugsout andforgot to stick them back in, one shot and my ears were ringing for 2 days. I paid 180 installed for mine from a local gunsmith. Oh yeah, and if you spend decent money on a scope with a lifetime warranty, I wouldnt worry about scope damage.
