I also have a 6x18 Bushnell Trophy and I also really like it. It is bright and works very well for me. They are generally rated for Medium Heavy recoil. Optically I think they are very good. Mine is mounted on a QB now but had been on a Webley Trapper, a FWB 124D, a R-7, and a Diana 27. Focus distance is about 10 yards.
