    Pretty cool experience with the 50 this weekend

    Looking at buying a used Mark 4, 8.5- 25x 50, Mil Dot, got caps on it, seems to be really clean, with medium rings, wants a $1K for it, is that a deal? Secondly, why does a person need/want a Spuhr mount? trying to figure out where that mount fits into the equation. Going on a Barrett M99...

    Why no BMG's?

    Can't find any used AR50's anywhere for sale, heard that Armalite is telling dealer that they're back ordered for 6 mos- 1 yr., good grief, anyone know of any FS?? Also, is the M99 worth the extra $$ over the AR50??

    Rifle Scopes Bought a Bushnell Elite 6500, any feedback?

    Finally bought a scope for my 338 LM today, Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5-30 x 50. Anyone have one? the glass seems really good, looking for some feedback. It's not mounted yet, what size of rings do I need? this is my first LR gun, so pardon the dumb question.

    Question on Ammo

    Morning guys- first post here, so pardon the newbie question. I'm looking at buying my first 50 (Barrett 99) in the next couple weeks and wanted to make sure the ammo is legal in my state, is there a source for that info? I googled it and came up with nothing. I appreciate it.
