Bushnell rimfire scope on 0.308 Winchester rifle?

[Steve227]

Hello all,

I'm borrowing my father's 308 Winchester lever action hunting rifle for some 200 yard practice. He has a 4x scope on it. I have a 3-9 power scope on my ruger 10-22.

Is there any problem with putting the 3-9 power scope on the 308? Basically I'm wondering if a rimfire scope if built weaker and might take damage from the recoil of the 308.

Thanks,

Steve

No Problem as long as your dads .308 is a Rimfire
