Scope Question 50 BMG

[MTAR15]

I picked up a Barrett and need to stick some glass on it. I will be shooting it suppressed.

My question:

Regardless of brand etc, I can't decide if I should go 5-25 or 7-35 on power. I've shot lots of rounds suppressed in other large calibers 1000+ yards, in most cases after a couple rounds the mirage makes using anything past 20x difficult.

I want the 7-35, but in my heart feel that the 5-25 is the correct answer. Looking for information to nudge me one way or another.

Thanks

I ran a fixed 10 and a 3.5-15 on my Barrett 99, both did well enough for me
