Sandy 44 Posted July 8, 2014 Faaa-BOOM! That thing was cool. There was a nice and generous Barret owner there ( typical of the firearms community in my experience) who was real happy to let me and my friend Shari give it a try ( my friend Shari had shot one before) . I was a little nervous but with some encouragement from the rifle owner and Rosey ( Smokin .50 ) I let it rip. Very glad I did ! Lots of fun And surprisingly not that bad in the recoil department.

Displaced Texan 11,731 Posted July 8, 2014 I have a friend back in Tx who has one, but I've never shot it. Standing invitation to do so. Next trip out I'm going to make it a point to lose my .50 cal virginity! Good on you and glad you had a good time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 44 Posted July 8, 2014 We were at Old Bridge , yes Smokin .50 ( Dave ) hosted us there. Let us try some Black Powder ( so much fun ) in a novelty match , then we got to try to BMG , then we did a photo shoot. It was a good day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard 538 Posted July 9, 2014 I was at RTSP about a year ago when they test fired one on range one - yes it was loud. BTW I did get a chance today, also at RTSP, to fire a .50 cal Desert Eagle - boy does that have a kick and a huge fireball come out the front. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you shoot the gold or silver one? Memories and friendships that last a lifetime! Definitely Dave. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted July 10, 2014 It was just a plain black one. Can't believe how heavy it was as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
