.50 BMG Question
 
I'm a strange fellow.

In January-February, I stockpiled a moderate amount of .223. I'm ordering an AR-15 next month. I tend to plan my purchases out months/years in advance.

I bought some .50 BMG this month. I don't own anything that shoots .50 BMG.

I want something bolt action that has something like 5-round magazines. In poking around the net, I can only find either single-shot bolt action OR semi-auto with magazines. Does anyone know of a specific manufacturer/model that meets my specifications?

there are alot of 50 bmg mfgs now. like way too many imo. Bolt action generaly go for around 2500 and up, semi auto usualy starts at 7 grand. There are a couple companies making single shot 50cal conversion kits for the AR15 and those start around 1,000bux. There are some proven systems that work well in the AR15 platform, not many though...

Here's another option,I just picked up a Bushmaster BA-50. It's a 10 shot bolt repeater. With scope, mounts and a full magazine it tips the scales at 37 lbs. While not a precision rifle, it's sure fun to plink with. :)

the .50bmg may not bethe most accurate rifle in the worldbut it will definately help protect us from a tyrannical government if the occasion arises. I plan on getting a serbu single if i can ever spare the extra change.
