At that distance the 647-grain projectile still carries 2½ times the energy of full-house .44 Mag. After examining the upper, the ATF classified it as a firearm receiver.

Second, the bolt manually locks into the barrel/barrel extension. It is exclusively belt fed and sports its own buffer assembly. The SN3 I have is a 3.8-22x44mm model with a 35mm-diameter main tube. Because of its length, I had to cut a hole in the end of one of my hardcases so it would fit inside. If you’ve been thinking about buying one, now is a great time to pull the trigger.“Go Large” might as well be America’s motto, and the .50 BMG fits right in with this crowd. I'm hoping it is not. These two factors together reduce the recoil to something more akin to the push from a 12-gauge shotgun than the hard recoil you might expect from a .300 Winchester Magnum in a light hunting rifle.Watson’s Weapons’ The Boss uses an AR-15 receiver and mates with any AR lower. .50 BMG. The Ultralite 50 upper alone is priced at $1,450.Last but not least is the SHF/R50 from Safety Harbor Firearms. Recoil was mild, and the blast was not terrible due to the 22-inch barrel. Accuracy of the Ultralite test rifle was disappointing, with 100-yard groups larger than four MOA. Many of these rifles have simplified frame construction or are built like tube guns, and many are single-shot bolt actions.In addition, many are designed as AR uppers, meaning that they use the serial-numbered lower receiver, fire-control group, grip and stock of an AR and provide a .50 BMG top end, usually in single-shot format. The scope feels substantial and well built. First, the USO SN3 is currently the cream of the crop for U.S.-made high-end long-range riflescopes.

Accuracy was two to three MOA with the Barrett M33 ammunition.I expect that match-grade ammunition using bullets such as the 750-grain Hornady A-Max would group well in this heavy barrel. The test rifle came with a 22-inch barrel and weighed in at 21.6 pounds with the scope mounted. The reticle and click units are both based on mils instead of being mixed MOA and mils.The scope has USO’s many-click EREK elevation knob, which provides 90 .1-mil clicks per turn. So…5.56 vs .223.

With about 2½ turns available up from its zero stop, the scope has about 22½ mils up elevation (77 MOA) available for use. The R50 came with a fixed-height non-swivel bipod mounted to the handguard.I mounted a Nightforce 5.5-22x56mm NXS scope to the R50.

I am saving enough money to … I'll be lighting it up the week before Thanksgiving.

A closer look at how it came about and what other guns may be affected. Modern .50s usually weigh between 25 and 40 pounds and have very effective muzzlebrakes.

The most important factors are repeatability and total elevation travel available.

The Ultralite 50 does not have a free-floated barrel. We can’t say. Although the Ultralite 50 is available as an upper only and not considered a firearm on its own, the test rifle came with a DPMS single-shot lower with an ACE stock and thick recoil pad.I fitted the 18-inch Ultralite 50 with a Leupold 3.5-10×40 mm Mark 4 M3 scope in Leupold rings. Having enough adjustment is especially important with .50s.Long-range .50 BMG shooters use specialized bullets like the 750-grain Hornady A-Max or the solid monolithic bullets from Barnes and AAA-Ammo, with stratospheric BC values.
