Question
I would love to purchase one of the m145’s since it is one of the few optics I actually enjoyed using while I was in the military. I am unsure if it could withstand being put to use on a 458 socom which is the only rifle I currently have for use. My question is would either version of the m145 be a usable optic on a rock river army 458 socom?

Hi Luico. Elcan M145 is a great scope and it will do fine on your 485.
