Most of the people I know that shoot .50 BMG are shooting ELR. It's way overkill to shoot within 1000yds, and most people don't like their steel being hit within 1000yds.
High-end Laser Range Finders are prominent in ELR, as you will not get any usable measurements with reticle range estimation, unless you're ranging barn doors and vehicles that you know the measurements to, that are perfectly perpendicular to your point of view.
In addition to getting Mil-based scope, do yourself a huge favor and get a scope that has at least 10 Mils of elevation per turn, not a 5 Mil turret. You are going to be dialing some serious elevation for ELR, so the more Mils per turn, the better.
