There are quite a few brands out there. Do any members have first hand experience with any ? What about optics for them ? My budget limits me to a single shot model.

I have shot a McMillan Brothers Tactical with a 24x Leupold target scope. Crisp, clean trigger and the muzzle break I made isn't as loud as the stock one. This is a single shot model and I think my friend paid around $4000 for it.

The only other one I have seen is the Barrett. I haven't shot one but it looked to be well made. I thought the McBros was nicer in side by side comparison. The Barrett had a magazine where the McBro is a single shot.  The McMillan stock reminds me of the one on my Remington VS.

 

Check out the Barrett SWFA uses for disposal purposes

i shot the bull pup single shot barrett with a 24x leupold and it was like shooting a 12 gauge, not bad for a .50bmg

Check with Mark Serbu, the BFG  I think he calls it...We played with one of his models a few years ago  Super Sniper glass, single shot.....Very simple and stout....
