Used a Barret .50cal.on loan for evaluation purposes.
Though we had some fun with it it was deemed unsuitable for police service.
Ho-hum,back to the Remington 700 series.

It appears to be great in hitting APC but how often do you get a shot at a person 2.000 metres. Would i want to hump some thing like that over the hills of Afghanistan, I don't think so.

Make it Gurkha-mounted. Golf cart is optional. Hell of a good-looking moose gun!

This is our 25mm:

Bushmaster. Fitted in the LAV III turret. Excellent piece of kit. APDS-T, and HEI-T rds. Plus TP-T is good for punching sizeable holes through masonry.

GR. Were you in MQ when the Danish JGK sniperteams were there?
If you were; What did they bring?
??-.50 cal. or .338 cal. ??

Oh, are anyone surprised..

It makes a mess of anything it hits!! Even the .338 cal is too offensive for civ. appilcations i think??

I have a .300 win mag, (in storage back in Canada) and its about the same price as a .338, its only about 1$ a shot. I only plan on shooting once and I get about 1000$ worth of deer for that shot. It seems like a pretty good deal to me...

Saw a Barret for sale this week for 4500 dollars in a shop. Very tempting to buy. The 50 Cal, that rifle is for real.
They plan to ban the sales of them in my state next year. I might pick one up before then. They have cheaper models.
