I had a .50 Beowulf, actually a 12.7x42 so they didn't have to pay to use the copyrighted name. It was very accurate out to 100 yards. I installed a retro one-piece AR stock with the storage door built into the shoulder pad. Put in a weight from Brownells, made to sort of fit in the compartment, and it was a really fun shooter. A cannon-style brake helped too. I gave it to my younger son to pass on to his son who really enjoyed shooting the thing.

I thnk I insyalled a 7 or 8 power scope.

Starline makes brass, it is expensive to feed factory ammo.

What distance did you get out to? Yeah this is definitely one I’d reload for.

For paper targets 100 yards. We used to have a heavy plate at 200 yards, I could ring the plate pretty easily.

Yeah I guess a lower power scope would be ok, but I’m a sucker for 1-3x for 200 and in.

I do like magnification, but for accuracy, not tactical purposes; I use 25x for shooting 50-yard benchrest targets.
