Re: Sightron S1
In it's price range...possibly. Not as good as their S2 line with better glass and also low priced.
For a hunting rifle the new Redfields are pretty slick for $150 and Leupold lifetime warranty.

Well...
There is recoil...and then there is recoil...
Sightron and Leupold both put lifetime warranties on these scopes, but that doesn't mean they won't break...They will fix them for free when they do, but that doesn't help you in the bush and on a .458 they'll likely fail sooner than later.
To expect any $100 scope to withstand that recoil level would be a bit optimistic.
Leupold says the Redfield line will tolerate recoil...ok...you might give the Redfield 2-7 a shot, but Leupold makes tougher scopes and they aren't that expensive.
Their little 2.5 Ultra Light scope is one of their more rugged models. A fixed power scope will have a better chance of survival.

Have you considered the Vortex Viper 2-7? They have been proven on hard hitters and on sale over at SWFA right now. For the price you won't find better glass.

I have the SI mildot 3X9, and it cannot handle the 50 BMG 10 rounds and it was like a baby rattle. They did fix it though, now its back to 22 duty.
I just put it on as a very temporary stop gap because I really had the itch to shoot my new 50.
I did run it on my 308 hunting rifle for 3 years and it did fine there.
