Well guys, I am super excited to say that in 4-6 weeks my father and I will the the owners of a Serbu Firearms BFG-50 single shot with all the options (minus the stupid engraving on the barrel). Be interested what we as intermediate shooters can do with a rifle that shoots better than us! Will post pics as time permits. I am about 4 hours from where he lives so its up to him to send me pics, but I am sure he will. Anyone else got .50s out there? Post em if you do!

What is your price range? I have been doing my homework so its all kind of fresh in my mind still. Yeah I actually want to take the bad boy hog hunting. Everyone is always "Meh I don't know if a <insert caliber here> will drop em..." We will see if it drops when I take this thing out :mrgreen: I have a feeling that pigs will be semi transparent after that sorta round.

I've seen the Serbu Firearms BMG-50, but never a BFG-50. How are they different from one another? :mrgreen:

Nope, you saw the BFG-50, which is chambered for Caliber .50 BMG.

Where you going to shoot that thing?

There aren't many 1000 yard ranges around...anything less is just tossing $5 downrange

At least you know that you aren't undergunned when/if that marauding bigrig comes around :thumbs2:

Well for now we have at least 500 yards to work with maybe more in West Texas. I think we could have more, but right now while the rifle is being built we are setting up for 500 with a dirt berm. We have to learn to shoot at 1K yards even with a .50...neither I or my father are experienced long range shooters. Technology can only improve our shots so much. The Leupold Mark 4 scope came to day, bout 4 more weeks left on the gun. I am sure there will be plenty of pictures with the unboxing :biggrinjester: Till then, I wait with baited breath!

Here they are. My brilliant father is the one who mounted it and realized it was too far back afterward. But you get the idea. Enjoy
