I know that I can mount it, but can the X300 handle the heavy recoil of a Mossberg 590A1 12 gauge or is it geared more towards pistols?

I have mine on a S&W; MP .40. I'm sure it would do just fine on the Mossberg. This light is very solid.

I'm pretty sure it can handle it. I have it on my glock 23 40 cal. It comes with different clips for different rails depending on which one fits better for your gun

The x300 can most likely handle the recoil of a 12 gauge shotgun but it wouldn't hurt to verify with the folks at Surefire.

Not sure about the Mossberg, but I run one on my AR and have had zero issues after two thousand rounds. Hope this helps.Proud to be AmericanSupport the second amendmentFly your flags every day

Well I am going to put it on my Mossberg so I will let you know what happens! My understanding is that it will handle the recoil just fine.

This is a fairly strong mount. But a .308 kicks a good deal more than a 223. You are probably good to use it, but I better it is worth spending a little more to be sure.

Yes. It is designed to be fired on numerous platforms and calibers. It is rated to at least 1000gs, and I have used it on a 5.56, 300 blackout, and a 10mm pistol with no problems.

Ihave mine on a 12 ga as well, it hasnt exploded or anything yet, seems to be holding up fine to recoil,the mount is solid and it seems like a stout design, overall.

Not in my opinion. The scope doesnt have enough eye relief for a heavy recoiling rifle. These scopes are a bottom of the barrel optic from a great company, mine had issues out of the box. Wont be buying any more cheap Burris optics. You are better off springing for the US made $300-400 versions from Burris, way better quality and materials than the overseas produced models like this.

I don't know about mount for it but I have mine in a Ruger .308 scout rifle and it handles that recoil and stats zeroed. Hope that helps.

Good Lord! my 30-06 has the recoil many times that of any air rifle i could imagine! it survived shooting a fork horn last year, four point this year.. as well as just for fun shooting, good scope for the $$$

Hey Rob, I really don't have an answer to your question. I bought this item to see if it would take some of the roughness off the butt on my Bushmaster AR. My wife shoots it and didn't like the hard flat butt. Using the recoil pad does help but I don't know if it will fit your weapon. You may want to ask someone at your local gun shop. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Sure, I have mine mounted on a 300 win. Mag. No issues with recoil, I'm sure it could handle the recoil of 30-06

Mine moved around quite a bit but it was on a 308 that jerks alot. If you have a built in pic rail it would be fine.

I would say the repeated recoil will probably cause the image picture to go off. I use a 308 and it sometimes causes the image screen to go blank, about 70% of the time you will have a problem while shooting the 300 mag. Too big of a caliber for night hunting any way. I would try something smaller caliber.

This mount can withstand heavy recoil as long as it is mounted properly. Three mounting points is more than enough for any strong recoil, sturdy base is the key.

Mine is mounted on an M&P; 15-22, doesn't move from recoil, but it does move from transporting it in a soft case. Reviews vary greatly, must just be inconsistent quality. Very happy with mine.

The largest caliber rifle I have used this on is a 7.62x39 AK47. No problem with recoil on that rifle.

I had it on ar-15 and it worked fine, no issues, hard to say on a 12 gauge, but I bet itll hold up, for 304 its worth it, reticle as good as any

Yea it will handle the recoil, I liked this scope for a while but it isn't nearly as clear as a nikon for a little bit more money

If you so desired you could use a barrel mount bipod... unfortunately it is a magnum power rifle with serious recoil. If shooting from a bench sandbags is the way to go. If you are new to the world of modern airgun this may not be the best choice. Hope that helps...
