Has anyone tried a Mueller Scope with a glass-etched reticule on a .50 BMG? Their customer service tells me that it should stand up to the recoil. |

Mueller has a cult like following in some of the rimfire circles. They seem to have a good reputation for customer service. IMHO, Its hard to say how a scope will do until a bunch of people try it. "Design" doesn't carry any weight with me until its proven on a variety of BMG platforms. I have a SS 10X on my rifle for now. Its not the best optics, but they are built tough. |
If they are telling you it will work, they will stand behind their product, and you like their product...then give it a try and let the rest of us know how it does! |
338 Lapua puts out just under 5000 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle (250 grain bullet @ 3000 fps). A 50 BMG puts out between 10,000 at 15,000 foot pounds at the muzzle depending upon the load. A 50 burns 2.3 times as much powder as a Lapua and has a bullet that weighs 2.5-3 times as much. I really doubt the scopes performance on a 338 Lapua indicates much about 50 BMG. But you should see if they'll send you a tester. Very High Power is always in need of a new products review. I'm sure you could do it. Just join FCSA at www.fcsa.org. Be nice if there was a new cheaper scope option out there. I just doubt it because at that price point, the only other 50-proven scope is a supersniper which is fixed power and can be made rather robust at a modest cost compared to variables. -David Edgewood, NM |
