evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Looks clean, mostly no nonsense and I like the layout of the controls, but I can't wrap my head around putting BUIS on a 50 BMG. It did make me smile though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Less than 20 pounds dressed? Twenty four inch .50 BMG barrel? I can not imagine the recoil. Or the muzzle blast. Talk about mission impossible, who would want to shoot the thing? Yikes! But ... ONCE? Humm! The guys who make a successful can for the thing that actually stands up and lives can also get a NASA contract for anti matter plasma coolant which would be easier to tame. Plus the fact that I am left handed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Not for me. Left handed. I ain't eating hot 50 brass. Still, I'll bet the brake blast isn't a lot of fun for the shooter. Edited January 14, 2017 by patriot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Pfft, the Lynx Gm6 bullpup is way cooler. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Pfft, the Lynx Gm6 bullpup is way cooler. Agreed. Too bad it's not left or right handed like a Steyr Aug Edited January 14, 2017 by patriot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Not for me. Left handed. I ain't eating hot 50 brass. "Reading is FUNdamental!" Additionally St. George Arms makes two versions of the Leader in order to accommodate both right- and left-handed users starting around $8,200. Pfft, the Lynx Gm6 bullpup is way cooler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBntnnCFvOk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attention to detail is also fun! Edited January 14, 2017 by patriot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 The slow motion video of the recoil system is very interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Looks clean, mostly no nonsense and I like the layout of the controls, but I can't wrap my head around putting BUIS on a 50 BMG. It did make me smile though. Looks like it has roughly the same sight radius as my 7.5" AR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yeah, well, the "Ma-Duece" had iron sights, so why not? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) The only thing that is keeping this out of my collection is obviously…the price. For those of you that are recoil sensitive,in this video it doesn't look bad at all. That Lynx looks to be more punishing and it is longer and heavier.

G O B 3,516 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 $8,200. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Better than $10,500. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 That Lynx is a beautiful machine in motion. Very elegant. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XdamagedX 248 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 It could be the best designed piece of weaponry ever, but I don't see myself putting my face that close to the chamber. Especially with such a hot round. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
essohbe 47 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Looks engineered well. Pretty cool. Now make me a 20mm one and I'll buy it ;-) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that may qualify as a homerun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 How cheap can .50 be reloaded? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 The last I checked, a little over $1 a round Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) How cheap can I get a new complete head if the case separates? Edited by HB: meant to be a joke. Edited January 15, 2017 by HB of CJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I just wish I had a shooting range anywhere within an hour of me that went out to decent ranges. All the ones around here are 100 yards at best, so I wouldn't even consider wasting time and money with something bigger than my 30-06 or 308 rifles. A few years ago when I did some searching, the closest range that went over 500 yards was something like 3 or 4 hours away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't buy a Hesse/Vulcan/whateverthefucktheycallthemselvesnow and you won't need to worry about it. NOT meant to be a joke. Their 50s are permanently BARRED from FCSA competition for safety issues. (Bolts blowing out the rear of the rifle) OW! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
