[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 79583, member: 10"] Eaglet, There are several scope makers that offer scope of top quality for any rifle really. To get the ultimate, you simply go to the Fifty Caliber Shooters Association and see what is recommended for use on the big 50s by the guys that really use them alot. The short list includes, and in this order: 1. Nightforce(vastly more popular then anything else) 2. Leupold fixed power Mk 4 3. Weaver Target models The last one may suprise you a bit but top end Weaver scopes are extreme quality instruments. I have been using the now discontinues Weaver Tactical for years on my big game rifles and my AllenMagnums with brakes and they have yet to have any problems. THey are also mounted using standard windage adjustible bases and Burris Sig ring sets. Never had a problem. Obviously other scope makers make scopes that will handle these special strains. The top end Burris scopes are pretty stout, at least the older ones, jury still out on the new ones since Berreta bought them out. S&B are obviously top quality if you can afford them as are the USO scopes. Swarovskis are top quality as well. For lower prices scopes, the Super Sniper scopes are suprisingly simple and stout as are the XOTIC Ultimate Sniper Scopes. Basically you get what you pay for. If you spend less then $300 on a scope I would say on average you will have some problems with a big rifle fitted with a brake. Just get a well know brand with a good reputation for quality and you will be fine. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
