Originally built, with support from McMillan, for a movie about Rob Furlong's world record shot,
This detailed replica is as close as you are going to get to the rifle actually fielded by the Canadian Forces snipers but in a cartridge that is easier and less expensive to feed than the 50 BMG. Unfortunately this rifle was never used for the movie production as we could not get if finished in time for the production.
The rifle is built on a Stiller TAC408 action, Rock Creek barrel and Mcmillan TAC 50 takedown stock.

it has ugly butt-stock. "AR" style, but in AR it's a function feature, so there is a reason why it is designed that way. The use of tube on heavy calibers is quite questionable.
 
the tac 50 is a failure, the headspace is a mess. were using the field no go gages to test them. they are made to shoot 50 cal ball and not sniper elite. garbage!
 
Rishu that rifle will plant you into the dirt like a flower! lol Work good on big bull moose at Willy's Lake. You can shoot clear across and maybe get a 2 for 1.

Step up Gunboy. You must have shot a few of these.

No way I spend my money on a gun like that, better of get a 308 SPS rem700.

Gents,

Stay on subject. All parties are warned. This will not turn into a trolling match. No last words...just discussion of that amazing 50 eh?

It would seem that Mr. Furlong did ok with said garbage, so it can not be THAT much of a failure:eek:

Carbonrod. You are correct this rifle has a match chamber as it was not built for military use, but for extreme long range precision.

Edmonton Police Tactical Unit has a TAC 50 and use Sniper Elite ammunition. It works fine for them.
