    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

interested in hell...

You can't shoot 3 at a time (although I doubt I would want to attempt 2)!

If you have any of the shell holder models you will be able to grab the next gun a LOT quicker then you can load the next round.

Fortunately, two or mine are the more traditional bolt actions, and the other a semi auto..

Both of mine are Maadi's so not only do they not load quickly but they are over 40lbs each. I will buy a Barrett here soon and sell these off.

The one in front is a Barrett model 95. Bolt action with a 5 round clip and weighs in at 22 pounds, not including the scope. When I got it, it had a Swarovski 6x24 variable on it. Eye relief at 24x was down right dangerous. And I think that was probably the reason the guy sold it. Probably got tapped pretty stoutly on the eyebrow and decided the gun wasn't for him. I put a Nightforce on it with a good 4 inches of eye relief. However I haven't shot it yet and sighted it in. Hmm, seems to me I have been saying that for about 3 years now.......... :rolleyes:

The center one is a Barrett model 99, which is a single shot bolt action rifle. It's only a little heavier at 25 pounds. I've shot this one a fair number of times, and really enjoy shooting this one. One of the guys over on my ArmsLocker forum just bought one and we're waiting on a range report from him.

The last one is the Barrett model M82A1, which is a semi-auto with a 10 round magazine. I think this one is around 32 pounds, if I remember correctly. The barrel reciprocates with each shot, and I've noticed that the muzzle blast is quite interesting. Actually much different from the M99. It's a fun gun to shoot, but the M99 is much more accurate because of the fixed barrel. I don't know how accurate the M95 is, but from what I have heard, it is used quite commonly in the armed forces, and is actually the hardest of the Barretts to find for sale.

Now there are a few other Barretts I wouldn't mind owning, and this one has to be right at the top of the list....

Not likely I will, but I sure would LIKE to have one!
 
Have you ever seen a Maadi? To say that they are more functional then they are a thing of art is an understatement. My brother-in-law won't even shoot mine as he feels they are just a pipe with a trigger! :)

I've put back around $5000 thus far for my Barrett M107. Needless to say, I have a little more ways to go as I want the Swarovski scope etc. Hopefully, if the breeding Gods will bless me, then I hope to be shooting it by mid Summer.

One thing for sure about California, those are not allowed. I have to drive out to my brother's place in Arizona to be able to use something like that. Fortunatley for me though, he loves everything illegal in CA, always a fun weekend out shooting with him and his firearms. I bring along my guns and I never even take them out of their case. I need to move!!
 
The .50 BMG is illegal in California but the .499 BMG is not! ;)

Yeah, I've seen the Maadi at some gun shows. When I was originally looking for a .50 I knew I didn't want a shell holder style rifle. Seemed like it would be a pain in the butt. If you are going to get a single shot .50BMG, the M99 is the way to go. Plus Barrett is just a fine company to deal with.

When I was looking for a .50 for my 50th birthday, I was considering a Serbu, but after some discussion on one of the message boards, I decided he is not someone who I want to do business with. And in retrospect, I'm glad it worked out that way, as the Barrett M99 is hands down a better product, in my opinion.

When I originally got my Model 99, I put a Swarovski 10x fixed on it. It's an OK scope, but I think the Nighforce is much better for the money. Don't even bother getting the Swarovski "Christmas tree" reticle. It's calibrations START at 500 yards and the reticle is calibrated for the Raufoss rounds.

I wound up trading my Swarovski in a tradein for a Nightforce scope and it's a much better piece of glass.

Right now I have a Sheppard scope on the Barrett M82A1, which seems pretty nice, but I haven't shot it enough to get a firm opinion on it. I still have my doubts about it holding up for long. Sheppard used to advertise their scopes as being .50BMG capable, but they don't any longer, which is telling me something. Whatever you do, don't waste your money on a cheap scope for the .50BMG. At best, it may last 30 shots and then it is history. The push-pull effect of the muzzle brake rapidly kills scopes not designed for it.
