[QUOTE="ogreshooter, post: 272989, member: 16647"] For long range, I chose an SII 6.5-20x50 for $650 plus an additional $50 mail in rebate. I kicked around a large number of scopes, and Sightron was my final choice and I stand behind it 100% (and no, I dont work for Sightron, just like their stuff). One scope you might consider is the Super Sniper scopes by SWFA. [url=http://www.swfa.com/c-2760-swfa-ss-scopes.aspx]SWFA Riflescopes SWFA SS Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Scopes[/url] A 16x42 with Mil-dot, rear focus, and good for use on a .50 BMG for $319.00. As someone else said, a fixed power is good for just shooting at the range. If that is what you are doing, stay fixed power, save some cash for other upgrades. Also, might try a Nikon on for size. They have good glass and are reasonably priced. Good luck with the rifle. I just got my first one set up (REM 700 SPS Tactical .308, Harris style bi-pod, Warne tactical rings and 20 moa base (for free as I won them in another shooting sport) and the sightron 6.5-20x50 SII). I also am looking at range time, but want another use for a rifle like this. If I had not won the Warne Tactical stuff, I would have used Weaver bases and rings. They are inexpensive and I have NEVER had one fail on anything from .223 to .308. So if savings is your game, you might look at those. All in all, I have right at $1200 wrapped up into it and it shoots sub 1/2" groups at 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
