A while back I was able to create buffers around point data of different distances in miles based on a range of field values. Somehow, I've forgotten how I accomplished it and I'm hoping someone can assist. I have about 30 points and each point has a range of values from 0-50. What I'd like to do is:
0-20= 50 mile buffer
21-35= 75 mile buffer
36-50= 125 mile buffer
I could always separate them, buffer each one and then merge them, but I'd prefer a quicker solution and possibly one that I could sketch out in ModelBuilder.

You need to classify those range values into one numeric field, try these steps:
For ModelBuilder, you may chain together this work flow (Add Field, Make Feature Layer, Select By Attribute, Calculate Field, Select by Attribute, Calculate Field....then Buffer tool)
