so i've been thinking of getting rid of most of my handguns in order to start the fund for a Barrett, most likely the Model 99 because of price... wondering if anybody has any good advice on getting into shooting these beasts? like should i go .50 cal or .416 (based on price/performance)? where the hell am i going to shoot it, can i take it to a "normal" rifle range, or where will i need to go to shoot long distance? would it be a better idea to save for the mag fed models since they're all expensive anyhow? ...these are things that there just isn't very much info out there about.
also, they have a new .338 model coming out called the 98Bravo, does anyone have any experience with .338's? should i wait long enough to see what the feedback on this new one is like? i can't find any pricing info on this model, so i'm not even sure it would be even a more economical proposition...? does anyone know of anywhere you can rent/try one? and finally, after all is said and done, is the high cost of these monsters really worth it, it sure seems like lots and lots o' fun...? thanks for any help.
