I would definitely make use of the "no questions asked" warranty!
Yes sir. The owner of the .338 shot both side by side and agreed the 30-06 kicked more. Regardless, you're right, the new scope shouldn't have failed.
I'm hoping they will honor the warranty or send me an upgrade for the trouble!
Did you mention the brand?
Felt recoil maybe, but not measured or calculated recoil. That .30-06 must be an extreme lightweight and terrible stock design.
Did you read the instructions? Newer scopes have different features that sometimes operate differently than older simpler scopes.
I had problems with a new p223 nikon until I read the instructions.

I shook apart 3 scopes on my 30-06 Mossberg 100atr A Bass pro Pursuit the factory one that came on it and a Bushnell.
I have a pellet rifle scope an old model centerpoint 4-16x40. Has fallen 10 foot from a tree to the frozen ground and did not change zero.
My 30-06 has a very tight bore and kicks very hard..Yes it is light and pressures come up quick with 4064 powder..If i use RL15 the recoil is milder closer to my heavy .308.
A quick rise in pressure will feel worse on the shoulder more like a punch.. use very slow powder and it is more like a hard push.
If the scope does not hold zero on the heavy rifle it will not do well on a light recoil either..I tried a scope on my .223 ar that would not hold zero on my 30-06. did not hold zero on .223 either.
Now i have 3 crappy scopes.
The last centerpoint I got was 1.5 years ago and it was crap.
Someone said they have 3 of the 100ATR mossbergs and 2 are mild kicking and the third one just kills you to pull the trigger.
I wonder if the bore is tight..I can pull a bore snake through my .308 savage pretty easy. I have to add much more force to pull it through the Mossberg 30-06.

The bore is tight (that's what she said 
) and the stock is really light. It's a cheap rifle but is accurate and has been reliable. It has multiple deer and elk kills under its belt.
I'll read through the instructions again to see if I missed anything. Hell I may upgrade the rings just to see what happens. Would give a reason to punch some paper holes lol

Once the smoke settles and I have before after results I'll let y'all know the brand. Customer service and resolve to the issue will be a determining factor. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt before blasting or praising them publicly.
