scope for 50Beowulf

[Guest mackdoc1]

I'm building a entry level Beowulf for deer hunting and feral hog in middle Tennessee long shot were I'm hunting is 125 yards any of y'all who are familiar with this platform have any suggestions on a scope that will hold up to the recoil its comparable to a 45/70

I'm not familiar with the beowulf round but on my S&W 500 rifle i am using a nikon slug hunter scope zeroed for 100yds. It seems to be holding up fairly well. I only have around 40ish rounds that i have put down range since i put the scope on.

Why would you use a 50 Beowulf for middle Tennessee deer under 125 yards?  A little overkill is it not?

I'm using a 50Beowulf to be different I do not like to be normal I'm a out side the box kinda guy I love the AR platform yes I could use a 270,308,243 or any thing under the sun I used a 300 blackout this year with great success

Also the Beowulf is not very affective past about 150 yards it is big and slow and starts dropping between 125 & 150 like a rock

My friend Rightwinger used a .458 SOCOM on deer. I suspect he did it 'cause he's lazy. From what I'm told, they didn't go anywhere once they were shot. Rightwinger's lengthy description... "Kills 'em dead". Besides, it's hard to beat a big bore for hogs.

I can finger out how to quote and post in the same box
I used a 458on mule deer last year and you are right they don't move if you put it in the right place

I have an eotech on mine and it does just fine. For under 150 yds it works perfect.

I got a Nikon 3x9x40 on my 458 Socom and no problem!

I deer hunt with mine, I've got a leupold 2x7x(33?) Its held up very well to several hundred rounds without ever loosing zero.
