This one has the 29" stainless steel barrel, Spider Firearms' custom-made match hammer and trigger set (lighter and crisper than the Rock River Arms 2-stage NM trigger - if you can believe it!), a Rock River Arms lower, 3lb. weight in the stock cavity, Badger Max-50 rings (high), and a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x50mm scope. I just received the upper a few nights ago, so I'm hoping to get some trigger time with this Big Mamma Thump over the 4th of July weekend. Cheers, ~ Greg ~ And for the sake of scale, I tossed my RRA Entry Tactical into a photo... that .50 BMG rifle is a big sucker! "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.

But how does a person afford to shoot those things? Some places are asking five bucks per bang for the ammo. I used to be able just a couple years ago to shoot 8mm Mausers all day on five bucks worth of ammo. (Turk). I guess that is one thing that puts them in a class all by themselves above garden variety rifles. Curt

I've not yet shot this one, but I don't imagine it's the sort of rifle you blast away with all day. On a normal day of shooting (milsurps, AKs, ARs, what have you) I may go through 500 rounds. I simply don't see me putting that many down the tube on the Ferret50. I'm very new to the Big 50s, but most of the folks I know who've been into them for a while now are also avid reloaders - I think you have to be if you want to keep these babies fed for a while. Plus, when it comes to 1000 yard competitions, nearly all of the shooters are loading their own. So, reloading is definitely a big part of it. Cheap (relatively speaking) milsurp ammo is the other.

I know! I tried forever to cram those .50 BMG rounds into one of my Magpul PMags... but to no avail. No matter how I tried, they just wouldn't go. I guess I'll just have to stick with inserting one round at a time into the chamber. Boo! ~ Greg ~ "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
