I want to build or have built a bolt action 50 BMG.
Any views on actions, barrels, and brakes. Will be used for target.

Check Robar at this link - http://www.robarguns.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=5&tabindex=3
They have been making these for the serious hunting/shooting public in Alaska, and they also make and supply these to special military units. I personally would love to have one, but would rather spend that kind of $$$$ on an antique Winchester Model 1885.
Forgot to add that you need to click on the "RC50 & RC50-F" link under the Precision Rifles section.

I thought the .50 BMG was supposed to be like an anti-tank weapon?

ps - tr - Relax guy, just wisecracking, no offense intended.
So....Exactly what is it you guys hunt with a .50 BMG, anyhow? Elephans wearing body armor? Escaped deer from the planet Krypton?

trstone... several years back when the Feds allowed the Makah Indian Tribe to begin hunting grey whales again, they used a .50 BMG rifle to dispatch the whale after they had stuck it with the ceremonial harpoon. It only took one shot.
A fellow I am casually aquainted with at my local range has a Robar that he uses for long distance Elk hunting on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state, and he does some hunting in Alaska (though I don't know what it is hunting up there). It is one seriously accurate rifle though... he routinely shoots sub 3" groups at the maximum distance on our range (600 yards), and claims that it will shoot sub 5" groups at 1000 yards.
As for you Mr. aglore... Burst Bubble[?] Well, you are intitled to YOUR opinion... but you might consider that Alaska is a LARGE state, and you live and work in a very small section of it. It may have been more accurate for me to say that they have sold a few of those rifles to people who do some hunting in Alaska, but then again, I didn't expect to get nitpicked about my first statement.

I shouldn't know, I don't have a .50 BMG gun or an AR-15 or variant... [;)]
Having a predictable enemy is better than having an ally you can't trust.
