This is a 223 scope at best. More like a rimfire scope. Try a Monarch, Elite, VX3, Weaver Grand Slam or even a Vortex Viper just get something a little tougher than that.

Savage testing may not allow the recoil to punish the scope like your field test.
Stang - This will be one of the very few times I'll disagree with you.
I ran a Nikon Prostaff 4-12x on my 25.06, .270 & 30.06. It's my back up / standby scope if one of my Vortex scopes goes in for a tuneup. It has never let me down. It survived the recoil of the 30.06 without a brake for 3 months of marathon '06 shooting.
True, it's a low end glass. But the only undesirable thing I can come up with is the reticle being too thick for over 400yds & a small target.
