.50 cal owners

[raceway40]

Ive currently been looking for a 50 to purchase would of coarse like a barrett, but i was looking for another who either had one or more than one with either info on purchasing them or if anyone was interested in selling one of there own. Thanks

State Arms rifles by East Ridge are super accurate and priced right.

The Rebel tactical model is around $2300 shipped to your FFL, and they plain shoot!

For a semi, I would go with Barrett. But if you would consider a single shot bolt, I would look into the Rebel by State Arms.

Well i dont want a semi i mean i dont have any plans on taking down a city. lol But perferably id like a bolt with a magazine not a single shot.

Sooo , everyone with a semi 50 cal is lookin to take down a city huh. shame shame shame on you for saying such things

[scoutjoe]

my .54 cal dosen't take down cities....then again its a flintlock but its always funny to tell the uninformed that there is something bigger than "a 50"

I've got a Barrett M82A1.


Knowing then what I know now, I wouldn't have bought it. The ammunition has become ruinously expensive to shoot. When I bought the rifle, I could get ammo for 1.10-1.20 each. Now, 4 dollars for the exact same thing, match ammo can be 8 per shot.

I don't know your land situation, but every gun range with the exception of a handful in all of Pennsylvania fall into one of the following categories:

1. No BMG rifles
2. No caliber limits to firearms, but the range is only 100 or 200 yards.

The nearest range I can go to in order to really unload is Mifflin County. It is 3 hours from my house.

Even the September shoot that is coming up--the range allows BMG rifles, but is only 300 yards.

The upside--it is really cool to whip it out, but you better be willing to talk to a lot of people at the range.

The weird thing is--I could use the money, but there is a part of me doesn't want to sell it--at least not in the near future.

Well i know of a range within 40 mins of me that 500yds still no 1000 but better than 300 but where in mifflin county is this shoot held maybe ill come to watch when is it as well?

I thought I always wanted a .50 bmg myself, but I now don't think their worth it either. The ammo's cost is just completely stupid, and the accuracy appears to be somewhat sub-standard from them. Match ammo gets 1.5moa, and to me for the cost of every that sucks badly. I'd rather get a winter warfare L96 Sniper if it's possible, because I herd it with a trained sniper can easily hit man sized targets at 1000 meters due to it's sub-moa standards.

At one point I had nine 50 bmg rifles, but I sold five when I wanted to buy NFA toys. Here are my thoughts on all nine.

Still have:
Barrett 82a1- awesome plinker!
Heavy bench gun built on Mcbros ss action-great shooter plus nothing bad about Mcbros stuff!
McBros receiver to be built into a tac 50. Nuff said!
TNW M2-HB- Greta for shreading junk cars!

Sold list:
AMAC 5100- Real nice shooter. The last 50 that I sold and I will probably pick one up again when I have some $$.
Serbu bfg 50- Real nice and portable, second to last one that I sold.
Barrett M90- Nice, but short and harder to keep still. Plus lots of blast in face!
Armalite AR50- Nice, but basically a heavy bench gun.
LAR Grizzly- First to go because I could not wait to get rid of it! Nothing nice to say!
