I believe my dad paid around 6K for his when they had a sale going on, it included and extra mad, leaupold scope, case, and a couple other odd and ends, not bad for what you are getting but out of my price range too. But Ill still get to use it when I want.

Just need to talk him into a GEN III night vision scope for it.

I've always wanted a .50 BMG but, have no clue what I'd use it for.

If I was in the market for a .50 BMG, it would be the Christensen Arms Carbon Ranger. Weighs only 19 lbs.

Don't ask why, it's just because!
