Yeah that's what I was seeing, not sure where he is coming up with the price unless he has like several hundred rounds and the glass is several thousand.
My first question would be is it something you are actually going to use, and what kinda glass and how much ammo does it come with.

The semi auto Barretts, while cool AF, with out hand loads and just using random .50BMG are 3-4ish MOA on a good day.

I mean even at only 1k yards, with out good ammo, that could easily mean you could be looking at two E type silhouettes width of "I hope it hits here", huh that felt like a great shot, fuck me kinda shooting.

With good ammo, you can certainly cut that down quite a bit. And there is something to be said for a "what cover bitch" rifle, that you can also reach out there with. And they are honestly just fun rifles, that basically IMO feel like shooting three inch magnum slugs out of a 12 gauge, with a big fuck off projo behind it.

Basically I would say that's a lot of coin to shell out on a meh accuracy with out rolling your own, that's expensive to feed either way, and is more of a novelty than anything.

If it's something you think is really cool, and don't mind dropping the coin? Send it. But man, you could get into a nice custom/semi custom bolt gun in a modern long range projo, and throw some decent glass on it for that price.

You could get into a high quality precision gas gun and good glass etc for that kinda coin too.

You could buy a shit load of 9mm and 5.56 and .308 etc etc.

Great post, I have no interest in it, I have enough toys in the safe, just curious what your guys thoughts were on the price.

That makes sense! With out knowing how much ammo, what kind, and what else it comes with say optics wise, his price is high.

The market has gotten kinda weird on those and the prices have really seemed to drop in the last few years it looks like. I feel even three or four years ago new in box they were still well over 10k. I'm pretty sure that when my retarded coworker was looking at a used one it was at least 8k. Only other gun he had was a .50AE Desert Eagle 😂😂😂 He was like I want a rifle, and I'm thinking about a Barrett lolol.

We were like man who the fuck are you, are we in the Sinaloa Cartel and no one told us yet? What's next a blinged out 1911 in .38 super?

I imagine people have been sitting on a good supply of the Barretts for a hot min and are finally like fuck it we need to recoup that money.

Barretts price on them have probably dropped as well as I can't imagine the market for big fuck off expensive to buy, out fit and shoot rifles is super hot these days. I suppose outside of dudes who don't care about money. Or they are into ELR stuff, and those dudes aren't buying Barretts they are buying crazy ass bolt guns in modern calibers lol.

And I imagine various Mil contracts and purchases these days are also favoring other stuff. So really how many of their legacy rifles are they actually selling these days lol.

I sold some stuff and have some money burning a hole in my pocket. Leaning towards a new piece. Haven't narrowed it down at all. I don't need anything. I have an AR, .308, 12 gauge pump and semi auto, couple pistols. IF I get something, I am leaning towards a pistol caliber carbine for fun and cheap shooting, Henry lever action, another pistol, maybe 1911, or another 12 gauge.

I have a 5.5" ar9 that is a lot of fun to shoot.

If you're thinking of a pistol caliber Henry, be prepared to want to buy a single action revolver to match it. I have 2 Ruger .44 Specials and 2 Ruger .32's and still feel like I have to buy a Ruger .45LC to go with my Uberti .45 lever. Lol

1911's are my favorite firearm of all time so I would go with that. Lol. I have 1 that I inherited from my grandpa, 1 that I inherited from my dad, and 1 of my own and I still want more.

I think I'm up to 6 12 ga's now. A single shot, a lever action, a couple pumps and a couple semi's. I'm getting the itch for a 1301, but it will probably be behind a lot of other shit honestly.

If you aren't in the need for anything, I would get something that you've always wanted and don't have or something that you think will be the most fun.

We are on the same page. I went to Cabela's today to fondle some guns. Didn't care for the SIG p320 specter comp (actually I wouldn't say I didn't care for it, just underwhelmed) held a Kimber kds9c that I really liked and a Kimber rapide. If I go that route it will be with the idea of an heirloom and will not be carried. Occasionally taken to the range. I asked if they had any pccs and the guy handed me a Henry homesteader 9mm. I liked that a lot. It's in the running.

Missing the gang...hows everybody doing? Remember our posts and Jed's class a few months back? :tearsofjoy: I'm sippin bourbon and working short (7in) striking then dropit to 17in length. Gonna be riding from Ca to Az with no gun next month. This moves so fast it whistles....the important thing is not whacking yourself like a fuckstick. Kobudo FTW:grin: All I'll have is my bad attitude, 7.8oz auto lock and sling and my cane strapped to my motorcycle. The guy I'm travelling with is baaaaad news too....it'll be fun. What could go wrong.

Hope you guys are well....I'll pour another for the OGGC!🥃

17in is the max b/c the loop is dropped behind from thumb, an dlooped across palm.

Gripped used to hammerfist...good for swipe&strike or cycles. As a flail, 1st drop gives you 7in...second drop 17. Sneaky use...off one leg of the X bottom diagonal to top. Drop and second folloup reverse on the downward leg if you need more reach cause they fell back....you adjust for range as needed with arm and footwork.

My wife used to joke all I'm good for is the apocolypse.....she was right. All I could do was watch her die. Time for another drink of Weller 107
