You're only about $1000 away from something like a Barrett M99.
Owning both, There's a definitive difference in quality. I do enjoy the extra steel between my face and the chamber on the M99. Don't even travel down the 50BMG upper path. An extra $1000 in the grand scheme of things on a gun that shoots $3.00-$8.00 per round ammo is pretty irrelevant after a short time. |

Are these uppers unsafe or is their performance disappointing? Trying to get in to 50 without investing a lot. Still need a good scope. Did look at Barret's site. 99 is nice, $4200

Supposedly the Ferret is super duper accurate.
I have a State Arms. I like it a lot, but I would rather have a traditional bolt. My next one, if I get another, will either be the AR-50 or the BA-50. |

My Serbu 50 is hard to beat. Good solid gun and accurate.
I only have 300 yards at the farm right now, but it will throw 5 in the same hole using just cheap m33 ball pulled reloads. 218 grains wc867 and an m33 and you are good to go. One side note if you reload, the chambers are a bit picky and you need to make sure you resize the brass correctly. Plus the customer service is second to none, Mark posts on here and actually answers the phone sometimes when you call them. |

Good shooter and solidly made. |

Thanks for everyone's help. Emailed Serbu for expected lead time for the BFG-50. I understand there may be a couple months wait.

Give them a call. Sometimes Mark himself will answer the phone.

You can't go wrong with either one, the Ferret50 is set up more for accuracy then the BFG. Both companies have top notch customer service.
Mark actually sent out a BFG here to CA to let people get their hands on it. I'm willing to bet that he got more sales out of that then all the advertising he could buy. We put it through alot, plenty of people got to shoot it for free at the range. I think that and all the shoots we had helped defeat AB 22. Which was the first attempt to ban .50's in CA. We all know what Benedict Arnold did to us in the long run! Dave is a great guy also, he's helped out plenty of people. Loaned one of his rifles out to a naysayer that used to post here. Said person had to eat a little crow when he saw how tough Ferret50's are. |
