What NV or thermal rifle scopes are out there capable of withstanding a 50 BMG recoil force? I checked on the Thor thermals and they are not; but could be made so but only on a large order basis. I think the FLIR units like the T50 and T70 are 50 BMG rated; but their price is beyond my budget. Also appears the Armasight Vulcan NV scopes are all 50 BMG rated as is the Meopta ZN 6x; but the latter is not sold in the USA. Thanks, Dale

Glad we got a chance to speak on the phone. Hope I was of some assistance to you.
 
The FLIR T-70 and T-75 are both rated for full auto .50 Browning M2, even my old T-50 has an internal digital BDC for a Browning M2:

Sweet SkyPup. You have some serious equipment there. And thanks Soft and Eric for the added info as well.
