What recoil is my scope rated too?

Scope Recoil and Shock Rating

We would always recommend checking the manufacturer’s specifications for each individual scope to see what they are rated to. Most modern scopes are tested to shock forces of 9000 Joules, which is equivalent to .338LM. This also means that most modern scopes are rated for springer air rifles.

Other common test calibres include .357HH, 12g, and .50BMG, all of which correspond to recoil forces of 9000 Joules.
