ISO 50 BMG

[elkskier]

I have been looking for a more entry level 50 BMG with a budget of 2k. Wasn't sure if there were any recommendations or anyone had any out there. Thanks in advance.

LOL nope.

Best er cheapest is an bolt single upper for 2k.

BTW the .50 uppers are now "firearms" IAW ATF last year.

I bought one back in the 90s when klaus horstcamp (original owner/builder) was alive.
He was a good guy, always answered questions when you called.
I sold it several years ago to pay bills.

Depending on how serious you want to get.... serbu firearms has from break actions up to semi autos.

I too had a State Arms, it was one of Bob's Army Navy guns in Clearfield from when they had a team that shot in big bore competitions.
BAN #5 Custom engraved on the top of the brake.
Bought it used at a local shop.
Shot it a godd bit for the first 8 years i owned it. Put a 1/2" hole in just about everything i wanted in western PA.
Realized the true difference in bulk ball ammo pulled from links vs match ammo when shot at distance.
Didn't shoot it for close to 4 years. Sold it to help fund an engine build.

I recently had a friend loan me an M82A1 for a month and I burned through almost 100 rounds of 50 BMG. That was a nice gesture that really made my wallet sizzle.

But, expensive options aside, I have also enjoyed a Serbu 50 BMG single shot AR upper. It's relatively cheap, fun, and the recoil was like a high brass break action shotgun kick...not that bad. It seemed to be well made. I would pick one up used if I came across it for the right price. I can't speak to the accuracy; we were shooting at a minivan at 75 yards. *shrug*
