I'd check with the manufacturer and get get something in print if a .50 BMG doesn't void the warranty.

While the warranty says they'll fix it if damaged from normal use, I agree about asking first. While more companies are touting that their scopes can handle the recoil of the .50, the reality is they can't.
The .50 is harder on scopes then pellet guns, the recoil forces from the round and the muzzle brake beat up scopes. |

I blew my load getting the gun and now I need a 300-400$ scope and then start saving my pennies to purchase a Nightforce in a few months.

Well then look into the supersniper as it resides on two of my .50. Much like you I didn't have a lot when I first bought my .50 and I got the supersniper. I have since saved up and picked up a couple nightforce scopes but the super snipers are still going strong on some of the plinking .50. |

scope
This is the scope I have on my zell custom 50, It inst the most clear scope at very long distance but it is usable, it has with stood about 200 rounds and have not as much as shifted zero. I did get a second set of rings for it, That is right the scope sits in 4 scope rings. |

They're $300 new and can also be picked up used on the EE or the Hide. |

I have a Steiner 3-12 military with 34 MM tube on my M107A1. After watching a video showing a Nightforce flexing under recoil, I determined I needed something larger than a 30mm tube with a bulletproof warranty.
I have 300 rounds through the stick with the Steiner on top. No issues thus far. I stole the optic when Botach had a deal on them 3 years ago. I bought 2, should've bough 5. |

Link? Ive seen the as50 with the s&b video but that was mostly the rail it was mounted to. You could see it being pulled up in the close up |

Vortex seems confident their stuff will work fine. There's a thread in their Industry Forum here about it.

Has anyone put the Argos BTR 8-34x56 FFP on a .50 yet? I spoke to someone at Athlon, they said they would cover it under the warranty if used on a .50 bmg rifle. He told me they have not had any feedback positive or negative for the Argos used on a .50 and would like to hear from anyone that has some experience with it. He told me that their Cronus scope ($2K) had received positive feedback after use on a .50. (I just started looking through this thread, I came across a used Serbu BMG-50 locally and have been looking for a sub $500. optic for it.) |

I had a SWFA 20X SS on mine before selling the rifle. Cant beat the price and warranty on the SS scopes.
