    Yes, it should hold up to anything you can give it. If you get that 1 in 500 that fails - Vortex will just send you a new one.

    Most hold up. It is usually the mount that fails.

    I second the Ultra Dot. 30 MM works well.

    I just got a Primary Arms Advanced Red Dot mounted on a Weigand Rail. I did 35 rounds yesterday. So far, so good.

    As an aside, I have seen these torture tested. I have 7 others on different firearms.
