[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2846272, member: 116439"] Probably really high on the back end. I saw some pictures and read stories of when Carlos mounted a scope on a Ma Deuce and shot an enemy at some outrageous distance. Probably LUCK and had to be a body shot. Now the 50cal BMG with the right barrel, chassis, and scope can produce an effective Sniper Rifle. There are many in service within several Militaries. Barrett was one of the futuristic manufactures of the 50 BMG Sniper Rifle. If anyone on LRH shoots a 50BMG for ELR they would have info on MOA mounts. The 600 gr 50 caliber bullet is one of the best BC aero dynamically made. In fact when the Air Force was working with the predecessor of the Skunk Works they used the 50 Cal bullet design to make a aircraft to break the Sound Barrier. X1 Glamorous Glennis (Chuck Yeager's wife's name). I have shot a similar model of the M-2 that Carlos mounted a scope on when I was in the Corps. They are accurate but mainly used to "Spray" bullets at vehicles at a high rate with devastating power. After the Marines I had the opportunity to shoot a Jeep at about 800+ yards with a M-2 and destroyed it with AP, SLAP, and Raufoss rounds. Also shot a telephone pole at the same distance and cut it in half with one shot. [/QUOTE]
