It's top 3 in what PRS competition shooters use.

I would say that has a lot to do with sponsorship as well. But PRS (as well as a 50BMG) don't care much about weight. 48oz is a boat anchor, but they are built like one too. I am just not impressed with the glass in them.

Yeah but for $1600 bucks they do %95 of what the $3000-$3500 scopes do.

Don't rule out a Trijicon Ten Mile 5-50x56. Excellent glass (L.O.W), built like the proverbial tank (38.4 oz weight) and loaded with all the features you'd expect from a LR purpose scope. They are, however, 1/8moa or .05 mrad adjustment scopes.

My Nightforce on the 338Lapua I sold worked well. Stepping up to a 50BMG is a lot more power and anyone that has shot one for awhile would know a lot more than I can read. This thread has the most experience with 50 bmg that I have seen. Thanks all for contribution, I'm waiting for my 50 to be built right now.

I have 2 Trijicon scopes on smaller rifles and I love the brightness in their glass.Don't rule out a Trijicon Ten Mile 5-50x56.

Yup, I can read as well and have seen that graph. Again, keep them as an option but do some research (research the facts that are important to you) and see what works for the OP. Im no supporter and won't push my preferred optic. Seems like a lot of pushing here.

He was just questioning if the scope was decent enough for his 50 bmg and it is. I'm not pushing, just didn't want him to discount it.
I just went through this a few months ago and was stuck between a used Kahles and the razor gen 2 . My budget wasn't as not as high as his.
Like we all said there are multiple good options
For me I didn't like the warranty on the used older Kahles ( even though I really wanted to try a Kahles)or the reticle as much as the Razor.
Nightforce, S&B,ZC, ect we're out of my budget for this build even though I would love to try them.
So to sum it all up I was just making sure he wasn't discounting the Razor on a Quality standpoint. And I listed the Graphs for him to see what else there is to consider.
Sorry if it seemed like I was pushing the Razor. It just seemed like for the price of a new scope that was about top quality for the price.. if he could up his budget even another $500 that would open up a few more options for new.
But if he is willing to look for used he can probably find almost all the high end scopes in that range, which would make italot harder because there are so many good scopes out there.
I would have to watch the classifieds section and see what Great deals come up and go from there

I had to wait 3 years for my 50 to be built, but it was a tack driver when it was done.. I really wanted a repeater so I sold it and I was really torn between a super nice used G.A Precision Surgeon 338 lapua or a Desert tech HtI in 375 Chey Tac. But since I'm one of the poors I didn't think I would be able to shoot the 375 cheytac as much as I wanted, so I went with the 338 lapua G.A precision rifle that had 300 rounds through it and so far love it.
This isn't my rifle, mine was fde but same thing (50 bmg not the 338)

Heavy...scope is heavy? On a 50? Certainly would have an impact I'm guessing on those free hand shots!
