[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 391170, member: 10"] Jorvin, I would like to know where your getting those prices at. Your listed price is quite a bit less then what a dealer can get them for. From what I have seen, $2800-$3000 is a decent price for the AR-50. If you want to shoot over 1000 yards, I would recommend getting the optional 50 moa rail base instead of the 15 moa rail that comes standard. I would also recommend the APA Heavy Duty bipod. They also make a rear mono pod that is adjustable for height but I found that it slipped easily under the weight of the AR-50. As such, I modified it so that its quick adjust button was now a solid screw adjustment. Takes longer to adjust but it WILL NOT SLIP anymore. Also, on the bipod, I modified the attachment block and drilled and tapped the stock so that I could lock the block to the stock with 4 tapered head 1/4x28 tpi mounting bolts. Using just the lock screw that comes with the block, it WILL slip over time under recoil. Any machinest could easily convert this for you and its a huge improvement as there is no slippage at all. If your interested I can post some pictures of my current AR so you can see what can be done to them. The expensive part is getting the rifle to begin with. After that, rebarreling with a custom barrel is not dramatically different then a Rem 700 in cost. barrels cost more and chambering is a more because it takes alot more time but compared to the price of the rifle, not dramatic.
