My Nikon Omega 3-9x has been on a number of my heavy kickers and continues to hold up just fine. Constant 5+ inches of eye relief throughout the magnification range. Here's my 416 Ruger with the Omega.
Zeiss Victory 1.5-6 is great on my .500 Jeffery. The sight picture is huge on these. I have many rounds down the pipe with this scope and it's as tough as nails and never gets near my eye even under punishing recoil...but I've been drinking my muscle juice, too.

Leupold vx3 2.5x8 should be ideal
I had a fixed 2 3/4 Redfield on my 450 Ackley driving 500 gn at 2550 fps. Never wore the scope once but had a hard time keeping it from moving in the rings. Ended up using a custom built rail and 3 Leupold 4 screw leverlok tactical rings before I could keep it in place. That was one tough little scope and had great eye relief. I shoot a 1-4 Leupold on my 470 NE double, but it's pretty tame actually at 11 lbs c/w scope. Driving 500s at 2160 fps over the chronograph.
I did all the calculations for my 450 Ackley and it was generating 93 ft/lbs of free recoil. It was getting very close to my recoil threshold and would remove my shooting glasses and ear muffs every shot, but that thing would shoot one hole 5 shot groups at 100 mtrs, it was amazing. It was also the ugliest recoiling pig I have ever shot........way worse than my 378 Wby, which is supposed to be bad.

Was the 450 a lever?

I have a Nikon monarch ....believe its monarch 3 1-4x24. It was about $385. Its on a 416 Rigby.
What lever gun can throw a 500 gr slug 2550 fps?
that is the one. actual version is monarch 3 with german 4 very good little scope. and the eye relief is same whatever the x factor
you need extended rings for most of the action for those scopes.
No........it was built on a 602 Brno action with a 26" barrel. The 450 Ackley is actually longer than the 458 Lott and is blown out with a slight shoulder, it uses a full length 375 H&H case. I suspect you are confusing with the 450 Marlin or Bushmaster which is, for all intents and purposes, a 458 X 2".
No I thought you meant 450 ak
450 ackley is on the far right....
Ley me guess right to left..........450 Ackley, 458 Lott, 458 WM, 458 X 2", 45-70................
