Bushmaster BA50 Rifle

Small Arms And Sidearms

The Bushmaster BA50 is a bolt-action, magazine-fed rifle designed to fire the .50 BMG cartridge, with a 22-inch carbine or 30-inch match-grade Lothar Walther free-floating barrel and a 1-in-15-inch twist rate. The rifle weighs 30 pounds and has a muzzle brake to help tame recoil, with the manufacturer describing its felt recoil as comparable to a .243 Winchester; the barrel carries a MIL-STD-1913 rail for mounting a scope.
