I'm thinking of mounting an Eotech 512 (holographic sight) that I've got lying around onto my Traditions muzzle loader. More for $h1ts and giggles than anything else. These tend to be mounted on 5.56/.223 rifles. Is there any chance of the recoil from a .50 screwing the sight up? Thoughts (aside from quot;lolquot;)?
id say go for it, i think it will work good, and for shits and giggles like you said. An eotech on a traditions I gotta say that is a funny combo.
They(the military) also use the Eotech's on 30 caliber rifles as well, which generate a lot more recoil than a muzzle loader. If your Eotech for some reason did stop working, they have an excellent warranty program which they will honor, no questions asked. I had an Eotech, I forget which model number it was, but the batteries were very dificult to find, and very expensive as well, this was around 8 years ago maybe, I no longer have this Eotech due to the battery expense and difficulty in finding them. I had that Eotech mounted on a VEPR 308 at first, didn't like it there, but it worked great, it eventually got mounted on my Bushmaster M4gery, and then I sold it. Your 50 cal muzzle stuffer won't generate too much recoil for your Eotech, but it might generate some laughs from those you hunt with!
i doubt a quality brand like Eotech will allow themselves of sell products that will break if you used it on a 50 cal.
