Gives ya something to practice suck starting???

It's a rather un practical rifle & unless ya are going to be developing handloads & punching paper at 1,500 yards or more...not worth a dang...why do you think it was sold so cheap....

But hey, some of us have small penises & are insecure with who we are and need to over compensate...

Yep, it's cheap....

If ya want a really good semi auto 50 cal take a look at the Barrett 82A1...they go for around $7,900 and up....

The Barrett 82A1 isn't a sniper rifle, it will never beat out a Mcmillan in accuracy

Show's exactly how little you know and how full of hot air you actually are....

United States Army Spc. Nick Ranstad while deployed to Nuristan Prvince, Afghanistan - at a very remote FOB with the 173rd Airborne, 1-91st Airborne Cavalry "Hatchet" Recon Platoon took out a Taliban target that he and his spotter had been stalking from 2100 meters! That's 1.3 miles. Nick's shot is now confirmed as a US Army record for a sniper kill in Afghanistan. The Canadians hold the record with a 2430-meter shot (took 3 shots for the kill however)

When the bad guys were seen taking up a fighting position, our sniper and spotter sighted in on the primary target but before the shot could be taken, the bad guy walked behind a huge rock. Nick immediately switched over to the second target and Nick took him out with the shot. They then switched back to try and get the primary, but the bad guy stayed behind the rock after seeing the other go down. SOOOO Nick started shooting the rock!!

Why you ask?

Because they had Apache air support in the area and the pilot could see Nick's rounds impacting the rock

...(keep in mind, this is at over a mile!!)

...the pilot used that to target and fire 20mm and a Hellfire missile - which of course turned the rock into little pebbles, mixed with bad guy 'fertilizer' ....

Wondering if Ronnie Barrett ever envisioned his rifle being used as a targeting designator for air support...
