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?

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.

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.

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.

Great description! When I put a muzzle brake on my Saiga-12 it literally blew the hat off my head! The RO standing to the side of me had to strap his hat on tighter (we were doing Knockdown Steel at OBRPC). 

Barrett M99 is definitely cheaper than the M82, and with the massive brake on it, it's not bad in terms of recoil.

Go big or go home. Get a 20MM rifle for 11k. They have a suppressor available as well.

why the 20" barrel over the 29"?   im considering an M107A1 and prefer the shorty. 

Less weight. Less room. 

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.

 

hey wangsly, where do u shoot ur barrett?  seems like range choices are limited. 

Tullytown pa range.

I imagine a single shot on target would be sufficient. A bargain at $9,800.

You need a suppressor.
