Does anyone have a .50 BMG rifle?

Where do you go to shoot  a 50?  Not that I can afford the rifle- or the ammo- but I wish I could have one, especially when the world goes to crap.

Bscman, I sent you a e-mail yesterday.

I'f you've got an AR you can buy a .50 BMG upper for around 1200 w/o optics. It's a single shot bolt action but realistically do you ever really need more than 1 with a .50?

They are an anti vehicle/armor weapon... I have a buddy that does long range with a bolt action, weights like 60lbs no optics.... Fun yes.. shoot bulk military ammo? Not if you need precision... He started reloading his own 50 cal but it still costa a friggin arm and leg...

I thought that the ar upper converted to .50 beuwolf not .50 bmg but i could be wrong.

[carpsniperg2]

there are tons of manufactures that make uppers. that can be added to a AR-15 lower.

holy crap.

Here she is.  All 36 lbs of her. For what it's worth, I keep telling her that that stock does not make her look fat.

Awesome!

Have you fired that yet?  I imagine you might want a little thicker recoil pad if it's .50 BMG

Can you invite me when you go shoot it- I'd love to watch.

[ADAMS]

Just got it yesterday.  Have no idea when I'll take her out.  Need some decent optics.

At 36 lbs, the recoil shouldn't be that bad.

I'm thinking stacking limbsavers would be in order   Nice looking gun!

Huh?? 

For the price of just that gun, you could get a few AK-47s, handguns, and several cases of ammo. I'm not quite sure why a .50cal would make a better EOW gun.
