True. Figure on at least the price of the gun to get suitable optic for it.
Vortex makes really good glass... Check them out, IMHO, the glass is as good as Luepold (Mark 6 level) (it is however made in the Phillipines). I am particularly found of the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-1 Reticle (MRAD) for about a grand.

Of course, my first choice of optic for this gun, would be:

But not on my budget... And I'll bet not on yours either, pending your divorce...
Do you have a problem with either optic I would choose? Your looking at 1,000-2100 for decent optic, not really extreme high end. So I think you are looking at 3200 for the rifle, 1300 for optics and rings, another 500 for the reloading gear for .50 BMG, and toss in another couple hundred for a carrying handle/sling or other options... your looking at over 5200 for the set up... Did I mention some starting ammo?
Good glass has really come down in price in the last few years...
