What scope do you guys recommend? I built a savage using hankins prefit. Built it for a Christmas present for my brother. He put a burris xtr on it. It lasted 20 shots.
Smokeless muzzy scope

I wrecked a Leupold 5HD on my Rem 700 UML. First scope I destroyed with recoil.
It now wears a Nightforce NSX.

Keep the rifle OUT of a lead sled, especially one with weight on it.
I blew up a Leupold twice. Second time wasn't with 10 rounds.
Nightforce NXS is what I've replaced the Leupolds with. Chances of blowing it out are very small.

My SML's only wear Nightforce NXS scopes. There's just too much at stake!

Don't use lead sleds.
I've had good luck with zeiss on my smokeless. Steiner is going on my next one just to see. I dusted a Burris FF2 on different smokeless last fall. I'll never waste a cent on big L again, matter of fact one is back from repairs that my lgs sent back for me and I'm not sure I'll even waste the gas to go get it!
The Leupold was on a 22K hornet so I don't think recoil was an issue. It got replaced with a zeiss.

I am running NF ATACR 7x35x56 on my Smokless. It's freaking awesome and is doing just fine. Love it
Using a SWFA 5-20 x 50 HD illuminated scope that uses a red dot in center. Mil/Mil turrets and reticle. Rated for 50 cal.

A fellow member is selling that same scope barely used for a song. Can't believe it's not sold yet. I have one on my SO CALLED short range Jeff Hankins TC smokless muzzleloader and is fantastic.
