The .308 can actually recoil pretty stiff in a bolt gun. Humorously the only "scope eyebrow" I ever got that bled was from a .308 Win. in a 788 Remington. The big stuff you KNOW to be careful with the eye relief. The little .308 is loaded to .30-06 performance with modern ball powders and 150 gr. bullets. It's no cork gun in a 7 lb. rifle to boot. She sneaked up on me and bit.
