Default Scope made it Season one.

A Good word or two about the Cabela's Pine Ridge Scope I mounted on my new .450 Marlin. The little Marlin, even ported, kicks like a mule. But, the 2-7x32 Pine Ridge in its Weaver mounts has kept its Zero thru its first season of bumps,rain, fog, cold weather and the other elements of deer hunting.

Did you have to periodically adjust the mount during the season?

Did not need to readjust anything. Scope has kept same zero from sight- in to end of season.

etw, how do you like the 450 marlin? I was very intrigued by this gun and almost bought one, but opted instead for the .444 marlin. I'm helping a buddy of mine find a good gun for the Wisconsin's north woods. He needs to retire his 300 mag. I really like the 450. Does it really kick that bad?

Hope you guys don't mind me trying to help you out.

450 Marlin with a 350 grain bullet has 37.2 recoil energy
300 Win. Mag with a 180 grain bullet has 25.9 recoil energy

According to this chart, the .450 kicks a lot more. Here's a link to the site where I found the info.

BFR, have your friend buy a Marlin in 45-70. There are light factory loads that won't beat you to death and there are loads from Garrett loaded as stout as the 450.
