Scope question

[JFBum04]

I recently purchased a .50 cal rifle and I want to get a Trijicon ACOG scope. Which is better? The TA648-50:

or the TA648RMR-50?

I would appreciate any advice you guys could give!

I could think of many scopes that would better allow you to take advantage of the effective range of a .50BMG over a 6x. For less $$$ to boot...

Nightforce 12-42x56mm Benchrest

Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50mm FFP

Leupold MK 4 8.5-25x50mm FFP

Just to name a few... I mean, if you've got your heart set on a $3k 6x red dot then by all means, don't let me talk you out of it... But IMHO, there are better options out there for a .50BMG....

Running 6x on a .50 is selling the rifle way short.

In addition to the scopes coastie listed, here are two more, a bit more affordable:

BURRIS 6-24 XTR

Nikon Monarch X 4-16
