Re: IOR 2.5-10x FFP Illuminated scope - 50 BMG proof?
I have the 2-12x & like it very much. (Why not that one?) They also make a 3-18x that would be nice on a .50. Both of their retical's are great, the MP-8 & the CQB, they both work very good. Make sure you call Scott at Liberty Optic's before you buy.

I agree.

Probably want your scopesight to have parallax adjustment more than an illuminated reticle, unless 100 to 150 yds is your intended application.
IOR used to make a 10x fixed w/side focus, very nice scope. Had one for a couple years.
Super Sniper 10/16/20x scopes are also well-regarded.

I thought you hated IOR?

Why do you say that? The eye relief on the FFP model, (which is NOT the one to get from what I'v read) is 3.25" & the 2nd FP one is 3.5", which is about the same as USO, Premier Ret. & other good scopes. NF has a 3.8+ relief which is about the most. I think 3.5" would be ok on a .50, if you know how to use it. Leupold Mark 4's have aprox. 3.5 - 4.5" but they are not my cup of tea. (Personally I'd rather have the black eye.)

I am referring to the FFP model. If you do not believe me, strap one on a 50, and when you get back from the ER, post some pics.
