I am in the process of researching a 50 cal purchase. I looked at the Barrett 99, and the Armalite, and the Cobb 50. Any thoughts. First off I shoot left handed (devils eye) second both the Barrett and the Cobb both have aluminum uppers w/ steel reinforcements of one kind or another. This is a once only purchase, I really do not want to screw it up. ANY thoughts, input, experience with any of these products that you may have had would be appreciated. Thank you again in advance. db[:D]

First off, if you are looking for a SERIOUS tack driver in 50. The Armalite doesn't cut it, nor the Barrett 99. May want to look into the McMillan 50BMG, I have seen those put 3 shots in the same hole at 100. Pretty dyam good for a big rifle like that.
But if you want a good durable 50BMG that is battle proven for durability and accuracy for HARD targets the Barrett is the way to go. It is simple and easy to maintain.
Only problem I have is the gun is not exactly user friend when it comes to ergonomics. Scopes also sit pretty high when you use a 50 or 56mm object which is needed for long range shooting.
IMO if you going to drop that kind of money on a 50, spend a lil more and get a Mcmillan 50. They are very nice to shoot. Rented one at a local range and out of all the 50s I have played with, those are the nicest.
If I had it to do over, I'd go with a McMillan or the semi Barrett.
