For BMG, above are the rifle and a closeup of the action and the brake. If it comes through O.K. ...

Maybe BMG could add the narration.

I bet he clears a few benches either side of him at the range when he fires THAT cannon!

Nice. Bit of a high scope mount though, no? For ejection clearance? I suppose the extra room is good at reloading.

I think it's mounted so high in order to peer over the ventilated beer can hanging off the end of the barrel. Shouldn't need a muzzle break on a measly 50

The mount is set up for a big belled NightForce or Schmidt & Bender, no doubt, needed for the 1000 yard accuracy work that it is capable of, at least that is what I see mine as best for.

I have a Ruger No.1 similar to this, with a less efficient brake.

BMG had Kevin Jenkins of Tennessee use my reamer to chamber this bad boy.

If BMG wants to do some stunt shooting of Alabama deer with this "baby 50 BMG," that's O.K., so he needs the smaller scope for that. Wait until he gets a monster scope on it.

It is a 10" twist barrel, so it ought to be good with 700 to 750 grainers at 1000 yards.

I will punish you guys with a rerun of my old rifle pictures, later.

Nice rifle. Is that a McMillan BMG brake? It needs that NightForce on it to finish the look.
