460 XVR scope problems
Any one seen the utube vidioes of scopes flying off the 460 and .50 cal smith and wessons ?
Id like to mount a leopold but dont want to get beat up by my scope at the range. Any suggestions or time tested setups on these weaver style mounts and rings.

I have a 460smith performance model. I know the issue was with the XCR. They did have issues of shearing off the base screws, but I know several people with them that got it fixed, thru S&W and have hundreds of rounds without issue.

My uncle had this exact problem with his, he thought it was the scope, but it was the base screws.

RE: 460 XVR scope problems
My Cousin has the .460 XCR and mounted a Leopold scope on it and has had absolutley no issues with it. The scope that he got was one that was recomended by the store. It wasnt a cheapy by any means and apparently there are I think only 3 scopes that S&W recomends using on the 460. The scope he bout was $325.00
