50 BMG Rifle

Recommended Posts

either way but if i could come up with the $ im just buying it.....i want either a 50 or 338lm. i actually almost ordered one of the single shot 50bmg uppers for the ar but by the time i build a dedicated lower for it, i could just buy a cheaper 50 bmg single shot bolt action rifle.

George, even a used 82 is still going to be likely in the 8k range. Of the single shot 50's I find the State Arms to be among the best. Followed by the Viper from Blue Grass Armory and then perhapbs the Armalite. I sold my 50 but keep my 338 because I can actually shoot it unrestricted. When all my priority wants are met, I'll get a 50 again just for the sake of having one. But if practicality is going to have any weight in your descision process, the 338 is a far better option.

That Barrett has come a long way since '85. I have an old Guns Illustrated from 1986 that lists the retail price at $2,995. I'd say they've increased in cost over the years. The thought of handloading a round that needs a minimum of 190 grs. of powder brings me back to reality.

Friend paid $13g- optice,accessories etc. Plus he has roughly 50 rds of ammo- gun is ''brand new'' approx 4 mags through it- Buddy ''owes me'' getting it for $8g- just trying to make sure it ok for NJ-

 

That sounds like a sweet deal! NJ legal, you just have to find a place to shoot it! 300+ yards... 500+ yards... 1000+ yards :icon_twisted:
