I am thinking about getting a bluegrass armory 50bmg. I there anyone on this site that has one that can tell me what they like and not like about it and how good it shoots and group size
thanks chuck |
I've owned one for about a year but haven't shot it out past 200 yards. I' ve been very happy with mine though. Gun is very solid and well built. Recoil is stout, but certainly manageable. Fit and finish are very good. As for group sizes, I've been getting about 1.5 MOA shooting off the bipod and using military surplus ammo. I suspect someone who's a little more talented than me using handloads or match ammo would probably be able to bring that down to approx. 1 MOA (at least at the distances I've been shooting).
One word of warning though, Bluegrass can be very optomistic about delivery dates. I was told about 8-10 weeks and it ended up taking over 20 weeks. Was repeatedly told gun was built, and was about to ship but ended up waiting another month. However, it was worth the wait and I do think they are a good value for the money. Also, they definitely make a lefty version if you're a southpaw - I know because I own one. Also, my memory is that there is no upcharge for left handed version. |

I got a phone call from bluegrass today she told me 4 to 6 weeks and that it would be $3100.00 but I have been reading all over and the wait is longer then what they tell by 3 to 4 times longer. They may be squared away now. Who knows. I had a buddy order and they told him 2 weeks and it took 6. So long as it takes less than 4 months, you'll probably be getting it quicker than any other semi-custom rifle out there. I just wouldn't pay them all in advance. Pay the minimum you can up front. Once you get the gun, you'll realize it's a top notch piece. As i've found with an increasing portion of the industry, time estimates are generally highly optimistic. -David Edgewood, NM |

yes they are a great gun,i have one.
like every one says their del times are way off. mine took about 6 months to get after sending the first one back because the sent the wrong color. the next one they sent was the right color so i take in out to sight in the scope. when i get home their is a call says to sent the gun back they sent me some one elses gun by mistake,wrong serial number. so i take off the scope and sent it back about a week later i get the right one. would i buy from them again probley yes they have a good gun but they should be more truthful and stop giving every one the run around |

They've gone up in price. Got mine for $2300 less than two years ago. BTW great gun even at $3100. Though I might look hard at the Armalite at over $3,000. |
