I do better with this when I'm on my Computer not my phone.

Yep, that's them. I need to start saving up for one.You bet. They do have Lifetime warranty to. And are rated for the 50 BMG.
This is the one I like. http://sightmark.com/product.php?item=1051
And this one. Check out the dot in the middle of the reticle. .06 MOA! It also has Zero stop elevation turret. http://sightmark.com/product.php?item=1099
Not everyone out there has thousands of dollars to spend on getting themselves a good Long Range Shooting Rifle Setup.
Here are some suggestions :
1. Have an idea of how much you can afford to spend on your initial setup ... Rifle, Scope , Ammunition, a rest, bags or bi-pod to start with, you can always add to it as you go.
Don't spend more for your scope than you will for your Rifle . You can always upgrade your scope later.
2. Choose a Range that you can reasonably achieve at first then move out as you get better.
3. Choose a Caliber that will suit your needs.
4. Compare prices, warranties and available accessories from the different Rifle Companies.
5. When choosing a Rifle compare the features that you get for the price your paying.
6. When you're looking at Rifles stay in your price range, . some of the more affordable Rifles out there are made by very reputable Firearms Companies that have been around for a while ... Remington, .Ruger and Savage to name a few.
7. Long Range Shooting should be challenging and fun. Don't try to base your experience on what someone else says they can do ... enjoy reaching your own goals.
I'm disagreeing! I own 3 of the 5 scopes in post 33 and they have helped my shooting
WAY more than any rifle I have bought! The step up is like night and day!
I would not pick them in the order as in the picture but the top 3 would still be there but in another order! I would go NF..K..V..
Sorry but winning costs! Does Andy Dalton make as much as Tom Brady?
Can a weekend racer beat the Pettys or the Wood Bros.?
At some point skill needs a budget equal to it! When I competed at Sporting Clays
I didn't feel like I was progressing like I wanted so I hired a coach. I went from just competing to cashing checks? Every little thing adds up! And it all costs money!
In my case as I look back in time I see two things that no one has mentioned. 1.Enthusiasm 2. Experience. If enthusiasm is low and just wanting a rifle to shoot but don't "get carried away" then common sense will dictate the amount one might spend on long range hunting. This person usually sees no need for a $2k scope. Even with high enthusiasm most will start with reasonably priced equipment for many reasons. With myself the affordable aspect had little bearing, as I just saved longer for quality components. But this didn't really kick in until Experience was mixed with Enthusiasm. Now I wish I would not have purchased some of the "bargains" and just put that money to start with for top quality equipment. I found that used cheap equipment is very hard to sell. At most long range matches you will notice the best of equipment because of 1.Enthusiasm 2. Experience
