This is the only category of firearm that I would be willing to consider a Norinco-type provider.
My default setting is "I don't accept cheap crap", so I stick to brands like Daniel Defense, Glock, or Browning. I know I am going to upset people by this and I am sorry for that, but I frown upon brands I won't mention here.
That said, I have this opinion for firearms that I fire often, like common rifles. However, if I get into the market of .50 cal, it would be something that I would only fire max 100 rounds per year, even if I hit the range every month. So it does not seem very appealing to me to spend $5,000-$10,000 on a rifle that is going to see so little use.
Therefore, if there was ever a category of firearm that I would be willing to accept "budget" craftsmanship, it would be this one. When I pull out a pistol or AR or hunting rifle, I want to know that it is perfectly made, and is going to fire no matter what. When I bring a .50 cal out at the range, I would be quite okay knowing that it's "okay" quality.

Exactly something like this would be cheap and easy to make and hard to screw up, it's a pipe with rifling. Very little machining nothing fancy, I imagine it could be made for a grand easily.

Hi
Anyone who promotes the Mighty .50 BMG is music to my ears.
look at the thread .50bmg under precision rifles
If Norinco can break the ice of the 1 500 $ price tag then I am for it.

Isn't Can-Am going to a gun show this weekend? If so they are probably just a little busy getting ready

I'm in for one under $1000.00. I'd be happy with a simple single shot, bolt action, slots on top for Optics.

If it was under 2K I'd take one for sure, as long as it was safe

I don't know, after seeing the video of a Vulcan having a catastrophic and embedding the bolt into a guys shoulder, I'm not sure I'd be in for a "budget" 50 bmg.

I'd only get one if it comes with heat seeking bullets so I can cook the deer as I shoot it.

Vulcan/Hesse/Blackthorne (same company) produce utter garbage and the owners of the company should be jailed and their guns should all be recalled , there has been many kabooms with their guns , they were not even tested with a proof loading at the factory . Norinco is miles ahead of those clowns im guessing, they make rifles like this for the Chinese military . I would never fire any 50bmg that hasn't been proof tested.

I would be down with something like that, with an effective rage of over 1200 yards I don't need anything fancy

Anyone thinking it would be under $2k is crazy. Look at the cost of a Type 88 first...
