I have a Leupold VX Freedom 4-12 x 40 on my 7-08 Ruger. Where I hunt gives me shots 10-407 yds. While the longest shot I have taken there is 270 yds, I feel confident that if I wanted to take a 400 yd shot, I would have enough optic.

As far as standing up to recoil, a friend has the same optic in the 3-9 x 40 on his 45-70, and it has given him no trouble.
