I was looking for a left handed bolt action 50 and was wondering why none of them are available with a magazine.
Does manually feeding a round make it more accurate? Or is a niche of a niche of a niche too small to justify it. |

After a little digging I've found that McMillan makes them. They must be very good for the coin they're asking for and too much for me for entry level.
I was considering getting into bolt action rifles and wanted an AI AT308, and if I enjoyed my time shooting a 308 I'd try get a 50 safe queen/range toy. I've never heard of MacMillan but read Chris Kyle shot one on his last tour. |

Biggest drawback for some is the COAL with a mag fed is limited, so if you want to seat the big 800+ grain bullets out there you are back to a single shot anyway for the most part. |

I purchased a BA 50 last year, really like it. Put a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP scope on it, rated for 50 BMG.
I happen to be a southpaw so it works for me. Have only shot it out to 300 yards, tough to find places to shoot. Comes with 2 - 10 round mags and hard case with wheels, need the wheels it a heavy rifle. |
