I have hundreds of rounds of 300wm and 338 with my own personal unit

The real limit is around how much recoil you can handle and control the rifle for night vision (any brand) with the different scopes and eye relief - I used to say 308 unsuppressed as a guide as we would get calls about a ultra light 300 WTFSSM and would it be ok - all the makings of a great you tube video (or Rik tick I guess)

I thought the issue with air rifles is that springers have a forward and back recoil which is bad for scopes. Not so much the force of the recoil.
