I bought a base model complete gun. For me it's a novelty gun. It kicks pretty good. You already know the deal with the ammo. Not sure what prices are but I bought mine in August for $1200 shipped. I saw it on future weapons and had to buy it! I honestly am not sure what I would practicaly use it for....bear or elephant hunting maybe? It is fun to shoot. Iwon't sell mine and don't regret it. I may have just only bought the upper though. There is nothing special about the lower besides it says .50cal on it and says BEOWULF. I guess if a law is made that says something about calber being marked it will come in handy.

I'm debating getting a Beowulf upper for my Bushmaster M4. Not cheap nor is the ammo easy to get or cheap. But it looks like fun. And who knows how long it will be legal to buy one of these. So, anyone get one but not like it? Any/all comments appreciated. Thanks from the latest newbe. You should post this in the variants forum. Read around before you by the beo. Most get a .458 SOCOM or the .50 BEO. Some have both. I own a .458 Socom, several different factory loaded AMMO choices, as well as a much larger bullet selection if you are going to reload. Just my 2 cents. |

I love mine. Haven't regreted anything about it yet. Only thing is, times are tough on gun owners right now. It will be difficult to get started right now the way things are going. But, if you want a thrill, the Wulf is the way to go. Here is a pic of a bear I took last month with it.

My only regret is getting/finding ammo. If I had to do it all over I would get a 458 Socom.

Posted in this thread, link, over in AR Variants 
458 on the left, 556 in the middle, 50 Beowulf on the right Don't regret anything other than not buying some more brass when it was available. Really fun gun *edit for poor sentence structure |

I love mine. Its a great pig and bear and even deer hunting gun. Its a ball to shoot even at the range. I just wish theyd get off there buts and get some brass on the market. Ive got 250 rounds but would like to pick up at least another 500.

Nope, of course I paid under $650 for the upper, and have plenty of brass and bullets still . I think the pricetag on my box of brass says $45
I bought it in June of 03 or maybe it was '04 but before the ban expired. |

I know a guy who is looking to sell his due to the reasons mentioned. He said it would be the ultimate Razorback hunting rifle.......FWIW. Ammo cost is too high for me to consider.
