I shot a buddies Barret 99 and Nf getting hooked on these long range .50bmg's. I was just browsing around for single shot bolt's and right around the corner from me is one. It is a State Arms Rebel with 200ish rounds through it. No optics. Very nice aluminum case included for $2200. Is this a decent entry level 50 for 500 yard shoots? We also are fortunate to have a 50 cal friendly range very close by. Thanks for the advice guys...
