Anyone had any experience or comments on the Ultralight50?

Looks good and the price is definitely right -- 1700 for a 29" barrel upper.

I have the 29" version, fluted.  So far I like it, though it has been a while since I got to shoot it.  I had about 120 rounds through it before I deployed.  It grouped about 1.5-2moa with surplus ammo (Belgian and Talon).  I haven't shot enough good ammo through it to really get an idea of what accuracy it is capable of.  It's a blast to shoot, like all .50s are.  I have shot it offhand many times, and other than being so front heavy it's not bad at all.  Your trigger selection may be limited, I tried a JPE adjustable in it and it didn't work, though some people have had that trigger work properly in theirs.  It must be something to do with the hammer on mine I guess.  Anyway it still looks brand new, no signs of wear or damage so far.

I have the 24"  and it shoots good.  1.5- 2 moa with surplus and 1-1.5 moa with handloads.  Good rifle for the money.

What kind of handloads?
Ball, api AP amax and powder charge

Just curious is all. I have been looking for a light gun.

I shot my 24'' upper for the first time last week after owning it for a year. I really thought I'd be selling the gun but wanted to shot it at least once before I did. But and I mean a big but its a great shooting gun recoil is very nice and I'm recoil sensitive.
Luv the upper and love turning big rocks into little ones!!!

Seriously though, they are great fun rifles, after shooting Chairbornes i got hooked and im getting my own 18.5" upper as soon as a check clears...
