All the better to "reach out and touch someone."

Hmmm, pretty cool Jack. I think there's a little bit of sales hype in that article though. The article (or should I say advertisement) raved about how lightweight that rifle is, but at 27 LBS that isn't all that light, and it's pretty much standard fare for .50 caliber rifles of other brands too. My 50 weighs 25 LBS, and can also be taken apart within minutes just like that one can. Mine is merely a single shot bolt action model, but some of the other Barret models which happen to be semi-auto's don't weigh anymore than 29 LBS. check it out... www.barrettrifles.com (http://www.barrettrifles.com/) All of these rifles are some impressive weapons though.

I agree with Billy,... Doesn't seem a hell of alot different than the Barrett, but it is pretty 'bling'! eh? :P
when I hit the MegaMillions I'm gonna buy 500 acres and have a nice loooong automated rifle range. :uzi: I'm thinking about 1200-1500 meters. :D

I agree 27 pounds is not that light. Carry that for several miles and IMO it will feel like a TON. :(
