I don't think you plink with a .50 BMG, you destroy.

Oh yeaaaahhh!!!

The problem of this rifle is not how much it cost to own or operate? It's where you can shoot it. In addition, the owner has to concerned where those lovely 650-800 grs bullets land.

we love the 50 at our house!

Finally got to shoot the .50. Went over to asc and they put us on the 300yd range. 8 of 9 of my first mag went in the 10 ring, this is one heck of a rifle. Havent even zeroed the scope yet. I do think I need more than a 14x scope though, the 300 yd target looked small and want to go to 600yd next.

Thats good news, on ASC letting the big guns shoot there, I wasn't so sure just yet...But what a haul just to get out there huh???

I'm taking delivery on April 1st, 2011 BTW...Couple more weeks...yee hawwww!!!

T-minus 1 week and counting!!!

Man, I just realized...I gotta go buy some ammo for this artillery piece!!!

Anyone had any experience with the "Bitterroot" ammo??? a box of 150 at $400 and change looks like a good general round for just everyday purposes...

TheArmsRoom down in League City is selling the top end Hornaday stuff for $70 for 10 rounds...

Decisions, decisions...

I just got 100 for $250 total at ammoman.com.

If it's too heavy for you, I'd be glad to take it off your hand for a small fee.

Yes you may...We were looking for you in Mesquite a few weeks ago...BTW, I left the store with about 20 rounds of $3.50 stuff...I think this will do in a pinch...I have a good source now that is sending me about 150 rounds of API .50 for only $300...That right there is an excellent price for this stuff...

This aquisition has been a long time coming...I feel very much at peace...
