$875 50BMG rifle

This is the dumbass that they chose for the collaboration.
It would be akin to GM collaborating with Bart Simpson to design and create a sedan.

meh, cant fault them for trying

many great inventors and engineers had many failures

the only dumbass is the folks who buy these lol

not at all, for about 10% of a real 50BMG. it just looks like its not gonna last more than a few shots.

So...a modern musket...I'll pass.

if you think a hinge alone could withstand the force of 50bmg, then you cray cray.

I dunno, I think someone making a safe and accurate 50bmg for the price of a normal firearm is a great idea.

If this was $2000 it wouldn't be cool, but within the constraints of $875 it fucking delivers

maybe

but most folks dont have 900 bucks to drop on a novelty, which is what this seems like more than anything

I meant the time it takes to reload is not efficient or practical.

Cause when I get mad I can never find a horn.

Give me 1 situation where a civilian will "practically" use a 50bmg?

For long range practice this will be fine for most shooters who aren't competing.

Oh come on they poked fun at their own design looking a bit "scavenged". I guarantee Serbu didn't let the kid design a 50cal rifle.

I'm sure they didn't, but it looks like it.

 

[Hayata]

I guess you don't have to worry about the barrel over-heating due to rapid fire...

 

[Laufen]

Well damn, now I'm tempted to buy one to see how big of a pos it is. Is there a 1000 yard range near Atlanta?

 

[Wallace]

Yeah, how about no.

I think there is a place in taylorsville that does 1000 on certain days. I'll post a link later

I don't think they let 50 BMG out there though.... My bad

 

[Willy Leadwell]

So for $8,750 you can get a nice, reliable .50 bolt gun. For $875 you can get this potato gun action .50. Is there something in between? Seems like this does nothing for me except prove that someone should be building a sub $2k .50 rifle with an action that was designed within the last 2 centuries.

 

[DoglegArms]

yup

LOL!

I'm laughing but realistically it will suit 99% of the people who buy one as they can only afford to shoot 10 rounds.

If there's any gun that needs a suppressor it's this one.

If an AR15 and a muzzle loader had a baby....

I mean the 50 bmg AR uppers cost twice as much buy you can load then one at a time with the bolt action.

Obviously the upper is preferable but it's twice as fucking much money.
