I am trying to justify buying a 50. i do not have a long range bolt or semi rifle, so i was thinking that 50BMG would be a good caliber to get into that realm with. i am able to get the barrett 82 and 95 at dealer cost, however i have read a few places that their accuracy is not too great, like 2ish MOA. how is this possible for such an expensive rifle? is there a different brand i should consider for accuracy? |

I'm a Buffet fan also. You need to go over to Fifty Caliber Shooting Association's website and look at the venders. There are some very accurate 50's. http://www.fcsa.org/ Also, you should consider joining the FCSA as they have tons of information for you and are supporters of our right to own these great guns. I have a AR-50 by Armalite and love it. Got it for $2600 with scope base, rings, and bipod from Knesek. With pulled and resized AP bullets (about 10 cents a piece but going up fast), I am getting under 1 MOA if I weigh the bullets. Another site you should go to is Knesek as he has some very good prices on 50's. http://www.knesekguns.com/ Probably the best site to look at for new 50 shooters is http://www.hevanet.com/temple/ Other sites to look at are: http://www.patsreloading.com/patsrel/prices.htm http://www.barrettrifles.com/DiscussionForum_YAF/default.aspx?g=forum http://www.tbirdammo.com/ http://www.armalite.com/sales/catalog/rifles/ar50.htm Welcome to the Club, George |
Here are a few options: ~$5,000 and up: McBros rifles ~$7,500: EDM Windrunner M96 ~$13,000: Accuracy International AW50 |
