Who has a Steyr HS50?

Nice pictures. Pictures of it out at the range would be great.

I can't wait to hear how it shoots. Accuracy reports would be appreciated. The mag fed version looks awesome.

The small round is a .50BMG, the larger one is a 20mm.

I'd love to shoot a 20mm. The rifles look massive!

I pick up my new .416B tomorrow... Just need to get my reloading gear together.

Have you considered sharing an optic between rifles? I may do this with the .416.

It's too much pain in the ass. You'll always have to re-zero as soon as it's removed off the gun to another gun.

True. I've never tried it, so I may give it a go. I'm curious to see how close it will return to zero with a quality mount (for example, spuhr).

I think my wife would murder me if I splurged on a S&B haha...

Return to zero on the same rifle, sure. But you're talking about sharing one scope on multiple guns.

If it is repeatable between two rifles (pretty close in terms of consistent adjustment) I wouldn't have to waste too much ammo whenever I switched it. We'll see.

Still might be too much of a pain.

Hello Guys,

Just picked up the HS-50 From EE a few days back Single shot model. I have always wanted one and finally jumped on board! I also ordered the ATRS brake and 20 MOA rail, as I already have Nightforce BR 12-42x56 scope and 0MOA rings. I plan to get more tactical high end scope / Spuhr mount soon, fingers crossed for Black Friday or EE.

My current reloading setup cannot accommodate .50 bmg so I will look for dedicated options soon, but shoot some factory ammo for now. Should arrive in a week or so I will keep you guys updated when It arrives.

That's a great deal you got. That deal didn't last very long in EE. What factory ammo are you shooting?
 
I had the new .416 out yesterday. That thing is a cannon. I can't wait to do some reloading for it. I have the cutting edge 472gr projectiles on route.

It's my first time shooting a cartridge of that size. The concussion off of the muzzle brake is unreal. Lots of fun.

I plan to just get a box or 2 of the American Eagle stuff to get the scope in the ballpark. May also try 750 grain A-max. The rifle is actually shipping down from an island in Nunavut so I think I have a few weeks to get ammo ready. Looking for scope a recommendation aroud $3000 new or used. It has been 5-8 years since I have been in the long range scope market so I am sure Lots has changed. I don't really have a magnification preference but I want 34mm tube and 56 obj.
 
Vortex Razor HD II is a popular option but it's going to go over your budget for a new one. I'm getting the same scope that's on my SSG 08 which is the Bushnell Elite Tactical XRS 4.5-30x50mm. It's not 56mm objective but the difference won't be huge unless it's low light.
