I want to hang a scope on a Desert Eagle 50AE w/ 10" barrel. What scope will hold up to recoil? Thank you.

  Redfield has always worked for me on a 44mag,I also have one on a .480Ruger without any problems.I do recommend a little locktite.
  
  Good Luck.

  I have a Leupold Gilmore LG35 on the same gun. I have had good luck with it since I have installed it correctly. First, I tightened the scope rings too tight at the top, which, under that amount of recoil, cracked the lens. I had it fixed for free from Gilmore, and they told me to pay special attention to the directions which state that a small gap needs to be left at the top of the rings. Has held up for a couple of years now. Great product.
  
  A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.

  Strongest, and best handgun scope made is a Burris.
  They hold more records than any other manufacturer.
  A proper mounting system, done correctly will remove problems.
  
  Happy Bullet Holes!
