Barrett .50

[rnmcguire]

I saw a Barrett .50 cal rifle today at Plainfield Shooting Supplies. Nice lookin gun and it was cheap! Only $6100!

 

[Mosinguy]

I'll be shooting one along with some full-auto goodies in about a month. Can't wait.

 

[Excalibur]

Saw .50 cal just once

Save some $$ and go with a AR-50. I love it and less then half the price so it's twice the fun right :-) Mine is a single shot bolt action. No complaint's other then the $3.50 a round. But if you can't afford to pay you shouldn't own one.

What a rush to shoot. I have some hi res video I took with my Iphone I need to have reformated, compressed and post some where. The muzzle blast cleared everything off a range table a few lanes over lol.

Saw the same rifle when I was in there... Also looked at a used Mauser handgun that I had never seen before and then Bob asked, "Hey, are you going to buy this ya little sh*t?"



Walked out and will only see them at the 1500......

First find out why its priced low. M82 is a great fun gun but if you are
Target shooting consider a bolt gun. M99 with scope new for $4000.
Or get one of each like I did. (M82A1 and State Arms single shot.)

My 2cents worth.

Bob is hilarious.

$6100 is cheap depending on condition and generation, that is if it's an M82.

I have $7k invested in .50bmg but that's 2 rifles and good glass.

Bob is a hoot!

 

[gunman41mag]

I like the McMILLAN 50 BMG

 

[TheTank]

I saw one at an auction once, went for around 7500.

Ohio Ordnance Works had some M82's they refurbished last year. I think they sold for around 6,000. They looked brand new and sold out pretty fast. If it has there stamp it's one of their's.

 

[Boiled Owl]

Been lightly in the market for a Barrett M82. or M107
Do you know if that was the model at that price?

 

[Boiled Owl]

I guess I'm more than lightly shopping because I called them. It's a model 95

 

[handkaudio]

I bought the Alexander Arms Beowulf .50 cal and love it. Got my first deer with it yesterday. But as far as a barret, its in its own class, Someday I will be getting one, just not soon, lol

Could you tell us what that means for all of us non 50 BMG people?

It means that its the bullpup design and that .50 bmg round is going off right by your cheek. It makes you feel like you've been punched in the face for a few seconds afterward, you feel it in your sinuses.

I know what it feels like with the bolt forward mounted on my AR50. It gives me a headache after3-4 rounds as it is! Yeah I bet that could make your nose run lol!!
