Has anyone purchased this scope and have a review. I am thinking about putting this on a Alexander Arms 50 Beowulf.
 
 
 
It looks like a good match for my intended use.

test drove one of these on a 458 socom , using a 50 can also, before buying. Way to much scope for this group of cartridges, also the scope was very difficult to mill with below 6 power. -- not that is cartridge would be used in that catagory. IORs 3x or low range variable with cqb or NF 1x4 would be better.

For a 50  Beowulf I would look at IOR's 3x25 scope.  It has nice glass, solid mechanics and long eye relief.

As for the 4-14x50, it is a very nice tactical scope, but way too much for a 50Beowulf.

 I agree completely with Dale Clifford and Koshkin.  Wrong scope for the cartridge in question.
