And you'll end up having to drop more money on a scope than the gun costs to find anything that'll survive. Look at the weight, remember the muzzle energy of 50bmg, then ask yourself what kind of scope can handle the abuse that will deliver. I'd honestly be shocked if anything could survive it..
You can easily spend 400 bucks and get a scope that will survive.
I've been shooting 50 bmg for well over 20 years, I own two of them.
I certainly understand about the abusive nature of shooting them.
How long have you been shooting 50 bmg again ??
Like another member has posted above, shooting one of my lever Browning rifles in 45-70 is ALOT more uncomfortable to shoot.
Using your analogy someone is wasting there time and money buying a 10-22 when you could buy a Kimber, Cooper or a Anschutz for five to 20 times the money..
