I'd like to pick your brain about your thoughts on manufacturers, barrel lengths and some other stuff.

I'm surprised that no one owns one of these.

Thats because most of us are hunters and although many of us LOVE guns we buy them with hunting in mind. Not all of us but most of us. Go to the websites more geared towards guns and you'll see several guys who own them. Those things are very expensive and typically it's a gun that true shooting nuts buy, not hunting nuts.

I do not own one.. I do know two people that do though. One is extended family. Like gut says though... Jump on one of the other gun forums and you'll find plenty. There was a crazy run on them about five years ago. Seemed like I couldn't get into a conversation at the range with a group of guys, then the 50 would come up... That someone was building one.

We could all go in on one together....
I will keep it over here at my place for safe keeping... I may have to drill a hole in the top of my gun safe...

They're not all that long. The AR-50 has a butt that detaches, the Grizzly LAR is a breech loader, quite a few have quick release barrels, etc. There is even a bull-pup breechloader that is 16" overall. So, I think your safe is safe, ice....man.

An acquaintance has an ArmorLite (spelling ?) Fun to shoot at 800-1500 yards, but not very functional for anything else other than destroying steel targets.

I saw someone firing one at the range and it looked like a blast ... literally. Wow.
I've got a .458 Lott and the .50 BMG has twice the muzzle energy.

Hey Adams,
Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
I've had a few pass through my hands and will gladly share any info I have including load-data, preferences, etc.
The big .50 can be very functional...and not as cumbersome as you may imagine.
I've personally shoulder fired one model that weighed under 14lbs including glass.
