I'm in the market for a .50 BMG and have a budget of $3000. The three options I have looked at are as followed:
Armalite AR-50: Armalite has a name that has been around for a while and they offer a Lifetime warranty. I'm not sure if their barrels(chrome moly) are match grade and was wondering what kind of accuracy people are getting out of these things?
Bluegrass Armory Viper: Have heard some good reports on these rifles and watch the test videos on their website. Their videos displayed the toughness of the receiver(looks very tough) but no info on the accuracy of the weapon. http://www.bluegrassarmory.com/specs.html
State Arms Rebel: Uses a Lothar Walther barrel which I hear are good. I'm not sure how tough the rifle is but the setup seems promising. I'm not sure if this particular model has a adjustable stock available like the more expensive Competitor 2000 or not. http://www.statearms.com/rebel.html
I know to stay away from Vulcan/Hesse and the like and I'm not real interested in the .50BMG uppers for AR's. Barret seems to be a little out of reach for me financially but wouldn't rule them out(especially if I found a good deal). Also the money I save on the rifle will be use to setup for reloading the .50BMG. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
