Helping a bud scope a 50 BMG.... - 11/10/20
Got a buddy who’s wife is (obviously) well off, and wants to outfit him with a Barrett .50 for his 50th birthday. Hell likely never shoot past 100, or even 500 with it. He will likely play and try to shoot a hog or two, and keep on hand for SHTF. What optics/mount combos are suited for both hunting and plinking within those parameters.....I.e. starting in the 2-3x range on low end, enough on the top end, durable for a 50, good eye relief, eye box, reticle and bright
enough for dawn and dusk?..I doubt he dials it much, ever...but I would. LOL...I’m putting it together for him, but it’s not normally something I track on a ‘wish list’. LOL
She says she doesn’t care about cost, but I’m trying to adhere to ‘value’ and usefulness.
Mounts, too......thinking 34mm? and +/- $2k ball park?
Thanks
