Tac 50 is on the better side of 50s but not the best that could be had.

Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

82a1 was never designed for pinpoint accuracy, and it shows. Fun to shoot though. There are certainly more accurate .50BMG rifles out of the box, especially in that price range.
 
Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

For .50 cal fun, the Barrett M82 is GREAT fun. The way it fires is awesome. Its such an easy weapon to fire. Its also an awesome looking weapon, for me it rates highest in intimidating factor for my weaponology top tens. But lets face it, if you were looking for accuracy you would be getting a .338 edge or Barret .416
 
Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

If your looking for a little of both accuracy and fun get the Barrett M82 chambered in .416.

Interesting. The first time I ever shot an M82A1, I shot a 1 MOA 5-round group at 690 yards, using Mk 211 API, a cartridge not very well noted for accuracy. Probably just luck...

Lucky? Yeah, right......... Not when it comes to shooting anyway.
 
Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

The Tac50 by a mile (pun intended).

The Barret barrel free floats with springs. It was not designed for accuracy.
 
Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

The TAC 50 is a precision rifle. The other one is not.

The TAC .50 will beat you up when you shoot it. The other won't.
 
Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

Just for the record, I have absolutely no doubt that the Tac50 is inherently more accurate than the Barrett semis. But it takes a lot more skill to drive a heavy-recoiling semi accurately than it does a bolt gun of the same caliber. The Barretts are very useful in the right hands.
 
Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

I'm sure it goes without saying but with deployment of the m82 and m107 in combat in the marines our main use for it was to diable vehicles. But with that being said I definitely wouldn't hesitate to engage human size targets at range with it! It's a very nice rifle.
 
Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

As others have stated, the semi may not be the most accurate rifle in the world, but Barrett is one of the best companies. They were major sponsors of at least half the matches I was involved in last year. They make great products. And they don't roll over for the gun-ban crowd.

dogging that gun for lack of accuracy is like being upset that your dump truck won't do 0-60 in 7 seconds.
 
Re: More accurate Barrett 82a1 or tac 50?

As everyone is saying go with the TAC 50. The M82/107 was designed as an anti-material rifle. Ours we're lucky to get 3 MOA out one and thats all that is expected. The Tac50 however I've heard of 1 MOA. However with the TAC 50 being that it is a bolt action you are naturally going to have my recoil associated with it and it also weighs about 5 pounds less then the Barrett. The Barrett because of its operating system has great recoil managment. I personally would prefer the TAC 50 despite the additional recoil.
