Debating getting into the 50 world. Looked into uppers but for the price the ar50 nm seems the way to go but I can’t find one in stock. Any leads? Or suggestions on another accurate option in that price range?

Why a .50?

Because I don’t have one and have always wanted one

Just wondering as it's an expensive round to get into and if ELR is what you want there are better calibers also. But if it's just something you wanted then no reason not to get it.

If you want a casual shooter, the Standard AR50 A1 is capable of  MOA accuracy with the right ammo.
Ellen; Clark, I think it'd be best if everyone went home... before things get worse.
Clark; WORSE? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen. We're at the threshold of hell.

I was wondering about the standard. Looked for accuracy reviews but didn’t really see a yay or nay about that part. I don’t have fantasies of being able to hold 1 Moa groups at 2k. Just have an itch to have one

Rick, I know a lot of people with AR50s. Some have traded up to custom benchrest 50s but no one has ever complained about their rifles, except for the weight. But that just helps reduce recoil.

Kinda funny when I hear people say that getting into the .50 for long range shooting is expensive. Actually, its probably cheaper or the cheapest way to go, even if you reload.

Then there's also the "there's better options" for it and then compare their round to a standard .50 ball round.
There's plenty of match grade projos on the market for .50's and while I haven't followed the. 50 matches through the FCSA in a long time, the last record I saw for 1000 yards was under 2". Pretty sure that's more than accurate enough for the novice. 50 Shooter or someone that just wants to plunk with it.

The AR-50 is the AR-15 of the .50 world! It's a good .50 to buy, modify and step up from if you want to go to bench rest, some just modify them into their BR rifle. If you're interested in that sort of thing, check out the FCSA's website.

I mentioned better options as there are many for ELR. Take a look at the cartridges used for the King of 2 miles match. No .50s in the top 10. The .50 is far from the best option for the ELR game. Years back shot a 408 Chey Tac against a .50 at 2500 yards and the .50 couldn't come close to the accuracy of the Chey Tac. I get you are tied to the .50 but I wanted to make sure he was educated before making a decision so he didn't waste his money.
