Nick is a great guy and I have shot at his range many many times. Not so recently lately but very frequently when my son was growing up. Took my Godson who is currently in the U.S. Army stationed in Colorado earlier this year. Chuck works a "saw" for a living. Had a great time. Also knew...
Thanks madppcs. It's going to be awhile before I'm ready to shoot the rifle. I appreciate the invitation. Do you have much experience shooting this large of a caliber? I have none to date but want to learn. Rifle is a SM HS 50bmg. Has never been fired and scope "supposedly" has been bore...
Let me get this straight. Say this BS becomes law (requiring training and certification). Let's assume I have no certification. My community is flooded. I have a boat and am able to get my family to safety. I have extra space on my boat. The old couple across the street need to be rescued...
Hello all. Clearly I am not the enthusiast you folks are. I have enjoyed reading this thread. I have a few old military rifles in my safe. Haven't shot them in years. Sadness. Also, I recently had a close friend pass and I am responsible for selling his rifles and give his widow the...

Thanks for the feedback but I will not be selling this rifle. I do have experience with smaller calibers and shooting distances out to 300 yards. I know very well that shooting the 50BMG is a whole other thing and politely refused requests from friends to come to their property to fire the...
Hello all. In doing research for a local range near the Baton Rouge area to fire my new unfired 50bmg I discovered this site. I found the discussion threads excellent so I joined. I have reasonable history with firearms, beginning with U.S. Army in 1972. In no way do I consider myself an expert...
I am a happy owner of new unfired 50BMG rifle with Mark 4 optic. Is this club/range in existence? If yes, are there any memberships available? Also would like to know if someone would be willing give me guidance on shooting the beast? Largest caliber I have shot is 3006. Thanks, Phatpad
