PK90 3,570 Posted June 19, 2020 Anyone shoot a 50BMG rifle on a regular basis? I have an itch and need input on scratching it. No budget. Single-Shot, Bolt, or Semi? I would love a Semi-Bullpup, but are there any available in the US? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 19, 2020 https://www.classicfirearms.com/contest/win-a-desert-tech-hti-50bmg-rifle-zeiss-scope/ There is a contest going on for a chance to win one at classic fire arms. 7k is a bit out of my price range but nice to dream. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted June 19, 2020 There was a member at OBRPC that had a semi, let me and my buddy send some rounds down range one day, very soft shooter compared to my 7mm Magnum on a bench! Don't remember his name, not sure if he is on here or maybe someone on here knows him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raz-0 1,259 Posted June 20, 2020 I've shot a Barret model 82. Very effective brake and recoil system. Id say it's less punishing than shooting 3" magnum slugs from a 12 gauge. However you also get a serious pressure wave from it. So you get the recoil plus a sensation akin to someone tossing a light fluffy pillow at your face. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The RO standing to the side of me had to strap his hat on tighter (we were doing Knockdown Steel at OBRPC). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted June 20, 2020 Barrett M99 is definitely cheaper than the M82, and with the massive brake on it, it's not bad in terms of recoil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wangsly 47 Posted November 19, 2020 I went with the 20' over the 29" for the maneuverability. I kind of think I should of went with the 29" due to the velocity loss. So much powder needs more time to burn. I think my MV is somewhere around 2450 as compared to somewhere around 2700 with a 29" barrel. More speed is getting more energy downrange, not to mention Id be getting the muzzle blast 9inches farher away from me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
