can this scope be used on other larger caliber rifles such as a bolt action 30.06 rifle?

Yes you can. How? 1. By using the Nikon SPOTON website http://spoton.nikonsportoptics.com/spoton/spoton.html#:4 or the Nikon SPOTON app https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nikon-spoton-ballistic-match/id399224811?mt=8 You dial in your scope, your ammo, scope power, and atmospherics...and presto....NEW DATA for the BDC. 2. Order new turrets http://spoton.nikonsportoptics.com/spoton/turrets/spoton.html#:1

No it's a precision AR scope for shooting.223 hope this helps my son has a Nikon BDC long range on his 30.06 and it works very well
1384325
I would not.... just get a BDC scope from Nikon and visit Nikon's web site to calculate the marks for your bullet weight
1384326
I'm sure it probably can but I would just buy a prostaff for $30 dollars more. This scope is designed and calibrated to be used on a .223/5.56 caliber rifle.
1384327
it would fit but the ballistic turets and mil dot is custom for the 223 cal. Hope this helps
1384328
NO, it is specifically calibrated for .223 round. The marking would no align with another caliber.
1384329
the p-223 was designed for the 223 round with 55g and 3250fps.......nikon has other scopes that may be better?
1384330
Yeah it will work but the bullet drop compensator lines are only for a 55 grain 223/553 bullet. I would suggest finding a different scope for a 30.06.

I own a couple of these scopes. I have them mounted on low recoil rifles such as a .243 and 5.56. Im not sure how well it could withstand the recoil of a 30-06. sorry

Personally I would not use it on a bolt action. It is threaded 5/8- 24 and it has a hole for a 308 Caliber, 7mm is .284 so it will work on that respect. These were made for the AR platform and I have it on a 6.8 SPC II. Just my opinion.

I have my VX -1 mounted on a Ruger Mini-30, which is, as you know 7.62x39. It works well for this caliber, but I can't give you much more input than that. I would suggest you go to the Leupold website and ask their tech service through their advice link, if the scope is OK for .30-06. I do have a VX-3 3.5 - 10 X 40 on my Remington 700 .30-06 and it does a good job. My VX-1 did come with a lens cover rubber stretch type - pretty basic but did the job until I got some good flip ups .

Yes, I used this on a 308 as well. Great scope for the money. I can easily shoot .5 now.
1947108
Probably yes. I had to get different mounts due to the scope touching the receiver.
2202839
Yes, you would use the .308, 30-30, .30-06, .300, .303 caliber, 7.62mm... I think the part number is #24015..
949883
No it cannot. This scope is really only sufficient for rimfire cartridges, and possibly .223...
1323520
Yes. The different calibers have nothing to do with the bases. The receivers are the same. Worked great on my son's axis and allow use of any scope, regardless of tube length.
86548
Yes. I have this scope mounted on the Ruger scope mounts that came with the rifle.
1332955
Yes, should work great on a small caliber weapon. Be careful choosing the scope mounts, the rear reticle housing is larger than most scopes, so the mounts need to be fairly tall. I bought mine to use on a .30-06, but it will not take the shock from the gun being fired. I have since mounted it on a .22 rifle.

I haven't tried it on that specific rifle but it couldn't withstand the kick on my mosin nagant and since the 7.62x54r is similar in size to a .308 I wouldn't recommend this scope. It's definitely worth spending a bit more money to get a more resistant scope.

I would think you could check the weaver website... I have this scope on my 5.56 and I love it,.. Very high quality

You can mount it on any make of modern bolt action rifle. All it needs are the bases that fit your specific rifle model and a set of 1" rings that fit the bases you decide to use. Since this scope has a 42mm bell, you will need to make sure your base/ring combination is high enough to allow you to clear your barrel and cycle your bolt.
1586852
I think it depends on the mounts. The bolt on my 223 hit the scope so I had to get higher mounts. There might be a site like techsales@opticsplanet.com that might tell you which mounts to use.
1814926
It is a great scope but I don't know us it would hold up to the 30-06 recoil. Sorry I could not help you.

I can't say cor sure but i also cant see why not. Does the 30-30 have a magazine tube or do you want to mount It strait to the barrel? I took a chance with my .44 magnum rossi lever action and it worked percectly. I used the barrel band sling mount on the magazine tube. I used another on the barrel of a .117 rifle. both worked percectly. All I did was to measure the 'magazine' tube diameter (and barrel diameter on the other rifle) and bought the corresponding size sling mounts. Allen sell them in different sizes if i remember correctly.
