Will either of these optics do for a 338 win mag?

[hounddoghowlie2]

Hey all, I recently purchased a Ruger M77 Hawkeye in 338 win mag. Currently I own a Bushnell Trophy 3-9X40 and a Nikon Prostaff 3-9X40. I have the Bushnell on my AR and the Nikon on my .30-06, but I have an extra scope laying around (centerpoint) that isnt as good of quality that I will probably just stick on my AR since it has the lowest recoil. Which of these two scopes, if either, do you think would be better to put on my new 338? The Nikon cost me a little more, but the Bushnell seems to be just as sturdy. I would prefer not to buy a new scope, but if neither of these will hold up to the recoil then I may just have to. Also, I have a 500 S&W magnum revolver that I am wanting to put a handgun scope on. Does anyone have any recommendations on an optic that could withstand the recoil but not break the bank? Thanks in advance for any help!

here ya go, a link go to the 18th post, posta are numbered bottom right. guy says he's got the same rifle and Bushnell Trophy 3-9X40, has held up 30 yrs

I purchased a used Ruger M77 in .338 Winchester magnum back in the early 80s. It already had a Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 mounted so I figured I'd keep that scope on there until it self destructed. It's been almost 30 years now and I'm still waiting. I don't use the rifle as much as I used to, but it still holds zero just fine and the optics are acceptable as long as you don't expect Zeiss or Leupold brightness and clarity..

Keep in mind that this old scope was made in Japan, not China and that probably has a lot to do with it's longevity.
