Both of my 50bmg rifles wear Nightforce NXS 5.5X22X56 NP-R2 scopes. One with Nightforce rings and one with Badger rings.
I am very happy with them.
Remember to get good, strong rings and not a cheap junk type.
Also be sure to lap the rings for best performance

I want to hit the 1000 yd range at Sac Valley and have some fun with it.

Range 12 is the 1000yd range.
Range 12 rules are here:

http://www.sacvalley.org/files/rangerules/FSCRange12PP.pdf

Of interest in particular to you will be this passage from page 5:

Ammunition requirements.
SVSC maintains that all ammunition must be serviceable and safe.
In addition, .416 Barrett and 50 BMG / Euro are banned Facility wide.
Armor piercing (AP), incendiary, and tracer ammunition is prohibited on range 12.

sooo coooooool.

As you already know, Sac Valley is out. That is one problem with the big bores, where to shoot it. BLM or private land is your best bet. A 416, even at 1K, is kinda pointless. It is really an ELR gun; think 1500+ yards. Ammo costs for that thing are going to be nuts.

For scopes: Vortex Razor series, NF, S&B, Kahles, etc.

For rings: Seekins, Badger, or anything top shelf.

[Rockit]

Yolo Sportsmen Club allows big bores but they only have a 200 or 300 yard range.
I'm also looking for a BLM spot in northern CA to get some distance for my 50.

For the scope...Super Sniper holds up just fine and is dirt cheap. It would at least get you some trigger time while you save some $ for something nicer.

There is a public (county park) range just out of Reno with a 100 yard range. I cannot remember the name......we shot their this spring.




Found it.

Washoe County Shooting Range
21555 Pyramid Lake Hwy
Reno, NV 89510

[Shovel]

The Clay Pits in Oroville goes out to 500 or 600 yrds. No ammo or caliber restrictions.

[Gofasterdammit]

That rifle should be zero'd at 300 or 500 yards. Time to invest in some quality AR500 targets, flashing target impact indicators, and take a drive out to Nevada BLM for some 1 mile plus shooting. You'd be doing yourself a disservice by putting anything but a S&B, Tangent Theta/Premier, or Khales on that rifle. At $6.70 a round for factory Barrett ammo, you would be throwing your money away with a cheap scope. If you want to have fun at Sac Valley a 6mm, 6.5mm, or .308 is just fine.

[50BMGBOB]

Coalinga would be your best bet. USI in Concord is big bore friendly too, but the public range is only 100 yards and the multi purpose range is only 200 yards.
