    SHopping for a 50 BMG rifle. Accuracy expectations for different makes?

    Barrett is the biggest name out there in the 50 BMG market, but before I buy a rifle, I want to seek feedback on who makes accurate rifles. I am sure MacBros makes a bad ass rifle, but I am not looking at that price point. So in the price point I am looking for, there's the Barret M99 and M95...

    Evening, Gents. I have a simple project I need done, but I don't have a barrel vise. Alls I need is my 338-8mm RM barrel screwed off my Rem 700 and my 375 H&H barrel screwed back on.
