Go try the Highroad.org. There are a few 50 cal
shooters there. Figure on an expensive scope
because of two factors. The distance needed to
shoot and really get use out of the gun is far so
you need a better scope that's more accurate and
has long eye relief (you don't want that scope to
bite your eye with that gun). AND a scope that is
well made and able to handle the repeated abuse
that the .50 BMG dishes out upon recoil.

Leupold has a range of .50 cal scopes. I'm not
sure about Bushnell or the others.
