I was wondering if anyone had ever tried one of these IJK scopes.

I hope this thread is ok to post in the 50 cal forum because im looking to put it on an m82a1. Eventually i will be putting a nightforce on it but money is tight and im just looking at this or the SWFA to begin with.

Thanks,

Dan

Skip it , you are better off with a Super Sniper!

You think so? Even though this one is variable and i emailed the guy and he said it will withstand the shock of the 50. The only reason i am skeptical about it is because i havent heard any reviews of it and the SS has a lot of good reviews.

With the less exspensive scopes out there, the ones that seem to fail the most are the variable power ones.  If they have a good waranty and promise to fix after claiming OK for a 50 then try one and see. It may be another choice for people saving up for a Night Force.

Not really a shock but a MASSIVE push!

Yeah, it's the several G's of force from the recoil along with several G's of negative force from the brake that #@#^%$#@ up the scope.  I saw a BSA 4-12 last only 4 rounds on a BMG.

That mirrors my own experience. I was in a scope swapping phase and had nothing for my fifty at the time. It was only a few rounds before shots got erratic. I grabbed the end bell and it was flopping around.

I still have a BSA scope, on a pneumatic air pistol.

Nightforce, Leupold Mark 4, S&B, or Supersniper on a 50 BMG.

And or anything else that has a great warranty, because you're going to replace it.
