Any .50 MBG orders out there?
I am considering picking up a Barrett M99. Any thoughts?

Hatter, Try High Rock Range in Bethany CT.. I see them there all the time.
I had an AR-50, left handed bolt, when i was living in Idaho. It was a lot of fun. We'd set up targets up high on ridges, and hike a few hours to the next mountain over, and then send rounds across the valley. Gallon jugs of water were great reactive targets. They are physically very big and heavy and loud; my shoulder could only take 10-20 shots at a session; and then the ammo cost... but nothing else goes those distances with that accuracy! (..well, maybe 20mm....)
I sold mine when i moved back East, because there's nowhere in CT I can find distance for one...and too much loot to have tied up in something without a use. I can't even find a range to see the full potential of my .243 -
Hatterasguy, I take it you don't want to be that guy on the 50-yd line knocking over the next shooters' bench, either? haha.
That's interesting, no experience here, but I have heard that the M-99 and M-95 was the cream of the crop from Barrett, WRT accuracy.I've owned an M99. Sold it within a couple months. Accuracy was terrible...
Still more than my own, so I won't dispute it.That was just my experience with the one rifle.
...after which you resolved to buy that fragile lump of steel from AI? Anything good to say about any of em'?The next 50 I had was a GAP / McMillan that was very accurate but had terrible "fit" due to the stock design.
