just look for an M40A1. Youll be very very very happy with that. Ill post a pic of a buddy of mine thats a Seal with his. Im on far right and he's all the way on the left. His rifle is freakin sick.

[playr158]

sniping is awesome takes lots of skill

M-107 Long Range Sniper Rifle = money, but thats not even out till 08
but the 50 cal sniper rifle..is a great gun

but your a pyscho just to clear the lines

from what i've heard most .50 cal rifles are very heavy and not worth the weight and its hard to find/buy bullets for them. Already got a desert eagle so... my .50 cal needs are taken care of.

not an M4 an M40A1 huge difference. The M4 is a Carbine not a sniper rifle. But I must say nice choice of weaponry.

I figured u meant the M4A1, my knowledge on assult rifles and snipers are very limited, so i assumed the M40A1 and the M4A1 were the same. But we all know what assuming does :-p lol. I've always been a handgun man myself tho, I just recently became interested in snipers so Im still learning. And when I bought my M4 (about a year ago) I had a choice of an AR15, Ak47 (few different models) and a few different M4's. The M4 felt the best to shoot and was most accurate (to me atleast)

[massbrandon]

yeah the M4 is an outstanding rifle. You made an excellent choice. I used one in Iraq and loved it. But check out the M40 I bet youll like it and its not too pricey

[Shocker]

go with the m40..the 50.cal is way over rated.. and ammo is expensive..plus whre in the hell are you gonna shoot 1 in fla.

ya it looks like a pretty solid rifle, how much does it run? and what cool accessories can you get for it? (silencers, scopes, ect.) Im a silencer fanatic, when I hit 21 I'll own my silenced p22 legally, lol.

[massbrandon]

you can pretty much do anything you want to them. When I was In the Marine Corps we used them and theyre indestructible. You can pretty much do anything you want with them. Ive seend them with silencers but they look kinda wierd. You can normally find them for right around 2-3 grand. Ive seen them for that price.

[elvasoshexai]

so... what do u do wif all ur guns?

[bloodrain]

so... what do u do wif all ur guns?

when I hit 21 im gonna get my concealed weapons permit, and in florida they passed a law if your life feels threatened you can use lethal force. There have been 7 shootings in the past month that I am aware of where the victim shot at the person and hasn't spent 1 minute in jail or even been fined. So lets just say its for 'protection'

[neKronos]

50cal? what fifty cal are you fools talking about theres a few of them.
I assume people are talking about the Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Inc. M82A1? Which would set him back around $7775 retail + tax which is way out of his budget.

heres some infos on the USMC m40

I say get an Accuracy International Arcitc Warfare series go with the ArcticWarfare M(Magnum) in the .338 Lupa mag


TacProShootingCenter is the only retailer I know of that sells Accuracy International Weapons for civilians go figure its in texas.

Guns are nice They make loud noises I like loud noises


[qoute]And when I bought my M4 (about a year ago) I had a choice of an AR15, Ak47 (few different models) and a few different M4's[/quote]
I wouldve went with the AK47 personally. Reliability boosts my confidence.

holy ****, for that price it better find the target, and kill them for me.

[Akimbo]

it seems like you play a lot of video games if you refer to a Rifle as a 'Sniper' rifle. That mostly implies use against people. You must play Counter-Strike.

Comon now 13k for .50 cal + mount, + bipod, + fitted case.

Itll make loud noises thats for sure, plus i think its considered an anti-material rifle, no soft target shooting for you crazy geneva conventions.

[jwells]

Though I believe they should be available, I can't really think of any use a civilian needs day-to-day for a .50 cal 'sniper' rifle. Even if worse came to worse, that 4,000 dollar rifle that costs over 2.00 a shot wouldn't see too much action (that is IF IF IF there were ever a need for it). There is little that can threaten you from far away enough to be able to shoot it without reprecussions. I doubt a court will uphold that you were threatened from 750yds away.

I'd recommend a nice ar15 fully decked out for about 2,500 or so, plus a lot of rounds and a nice pistol to go along with it.

Smith and Wesson just released a Military and Police series. The sell ar15's as well as polymer pistols in 9mm, .40, and .357
