Chriznak Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Anyone know what exists? I'm thinking the only way to do it would be a Barrett 99 or Bluegrass Viper with flip up irons on the rail. I wish the Serbu 50 or Anzio Single Shot had an iron sight option since they seem like the most spartan designs out there. Chime in below! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caspian guy Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Maybe a steyr hs50? could put a set of good target sights on the rail and a clamp on barrel block for the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlhead Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Who cares why? If He has the overpowering urge to shoot a 50 with good irons then why not? I enjoy hitting far off targets with irons, I would pull the trigger on a 50 with irons, sounds like fun to me. The only problem I see would be getting a barrel mount made for the front sight, but I would think it could be done. Good luck in your project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgj3 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 And I wasn't intending to belittle the plan, just curious as to the motive behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 And I wasn't intending to belittle the plan, just curious as to the motive behind it. Probably trying to avoid any hunting reference. Big game rifle though woud be one reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't be my choice, but I understand the difference between the winning scores of the Wimbledon Cup (scope) Leech Cup(irons) winners are usually less than 1%.. all that is to say it is possible to hit at distance with irons. If I wanted to do it i'd be using something cheaper to shoot than a .50 but like someone above said to each their own.

JBC123 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Sounds like fun. There are vids of a guy hitting 18" plates at 1000+ yards with an iron sight K31 (supposedly) pretty reliably. Nowhere near a .50, but I like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHinck82 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I know the M107 has irons on it but using any military standard round the irons aren't good beyond maybe 500m, the barrel and break get in the way. Those heavy 600gr rounds have some serous drop on them, also the M107 has a relatively short sight radius, 2.5ft I believe and they are standard hight for an M4 series rifle as well as being relatively close to the bore. Good luck with that though, not my first choice for shooting that far, but I think it's doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) You might take a look at the LAR Big Boar single shot .50 BMG. http://www.largrizzly.com/web/guest/bigboar Edited November 7, 2012 by Steve RA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas a44592 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm on my third scope with my .50 so if the iron sights are good- one less expensive thing to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halogrinder Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 What about a Watson's clip on 50? Its got an ar upper so rear sight wouldnt be an issue-front sight could be clamped on the barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
