[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1849970, member: 60453"] I use Shepherd scopes. I have two mounted on 300 winmags, two mounted on 30-06's and one mounted on a 35 Whelen. They will hold up to the recoil of the Barret Light 50, and I've had no issues with them on any of my rifles. I'm currently getting a 2nd 35 Whelen made and I have already given the gunsmith a Shepherd scope to mount on it. By the way, the Whelen generates around 28 to 34 ftlbs of recoil depending on the charge and bullet weight used, which puts it at or above the recoil of a 300 winchester magnum. The web site is: [URL]https://shepherdscopes.com/[/URL] and the scopes that I use are the DRS scopes. They contacted me today to let me know they're bringing out a 3.5 to 15 power scope with a 30mm tube in their DRS line sometime this spring/summer. It will run around 900 dollars and be capable of bullet drop compensation out to around 2,000 yards and maybe farther. Also, they have a number of conventional scopes which have the range finding reticle in the front focal plane which will fit your budget and your rifle's trajectory out to 1,000 yards or farther.
