Picked up a .50 Barrett M99 "package" yesterday. Pics will follow as soon as I get time. It's the "desert tan" version. I replaced the Bushnell 10X that came with the package, with one of the new Bushnell Elite 6-24X 30mm side focus models. Barrett says they've held up well in their testing . . . we'll see.
I've stared at them and thought "what if" for years. Finally decided to take the plunge. Definitely makes the least "sense" of any firearm purchase I've ever made! Everything about them is ridiculously expensive. I bought a case (only 80 rounds) of Barrett ammo . . . for $322.00 (not a misprint). I've got dies, press, etc. coming.
One look at the gun and it's food, however, gives me a warm feeling!
Any of you guys out there have any experience with them? I've never even fired a .50 - yet. Probably won't be able to shoot it for at least a couple of weeks. Will just stare at it in the safe.
see ya
