I am looking for the "best" 50cal scope for any and every situation possible. All opinions welcome but let me know the reasons for them. Thanks in advance, Tex.

The only .50 BMG rifle I have had experience with was the Barrett bolt action. It had a Bushnell 3200 Tactical scope that seemed to hold up at the time. I don't know about the long term, as I only had short-term use.
Barrett recommends Leupold, I believe.
For a 'be all, do all' scope set-up:

Yes. That's why I put the link to the Barrett website with the BORS system combined with Leupold scopes.
It is tops for their rifles, and what I would use if I had a .50 BMG rifle.
From Barrett:
Compatible Scopes
Leupold Mark IV 3.5-10x40mm LR/T M1
Leupold Mark IV 4.5-14x50mm LR/T M1
Leupold Mark IV 6.5-20x50mm LR/T M1
Leupold Mark IV 8.5-25x50mm LR/T M1
Leupold Mark IV 8.5-25x50mm ER/T M1
Happy Hunting.
Thanks.

Just curious, do you have a .50 BMG rifle already, or are you looking at getting one?
I'd love to get my grubby mitts on another one.
You know if you own up to having one you will be required to post porn. ;D

Hey Peg, a few years ago Maadi published instructions on how to build your own for a couple hundred $ the instructions were reprinted about 4 years ago in Shot gun News. Most expensive parts were a .50 cal Machine gun barrel and scope.

Somewhere here in the DRTV archives is a video that shows Optic Flexing on a .50BMG. The scope wobbled in super slow mo and looked very violent at that slow a speed.
Buy two, and use the Blue Loc-tite, generously.
