[QUOTE="Troutslayer, post: 365692, member: 4354"] So I am going to an auction this week, there are a couple of things there that I am thinking about bidding on, one of them is this: [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/BenjoMT/50caljpg.jpg[/IMG] They're calling it a McMillan .50. It's got a NF NSX 5.5-22X56 on it. I don't know if McMillan made it, or it's just sitting in a McMillan stock. It will probably creep out of my price range, but for starters- what do ya'll think it's worth? I don't have a round count, I haven't even seen it yet. What should I look for when I inspect it? I mostly want the scope, if I were to take the scope off of it, what would I expect to get for the gun here in the classifieds? Can I reload .50 with a Rockchucker Supreme? Other than dies, and a whole lot of powder, will I need anything special to reload? Do they let you shoot one of these at a regular rifle range? I have been to a lot of auctions and this one draws a crowd. Hard to say if that crowd will know what something like this is worth or if anyone will want it. Most likely there will be some pawn shop/gun trader types there, so chances are good that I won't be the only one with my eye on it. Would like to hear any thoughts on the matter. I will post up how much it sells for later in the week. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
