Not to many are mag fed. You can get custom rifles in that range but most are single shot. The only other one I know of in country is that Black Arrow and it had a 5 round mag (I believe) and a $7K price tag with scope. I dont know if anyone has fired one yet....
Kind of gives you an idea.... there are others here that would know more.....

You won't get anything like a Barrett shiped up here due to US export regulations. You are pretty much ooking the European market or points east of that.
Customs can be built up here, but when I was asking around I never asked about a mag fed beasty.
There are off the shelf options like the Steyr, (I believe Epps and Williams in Ontario both have one for around the $5600 range). Perhaps you could get one of those and have it chopped into a mag fed rifle.
The Black Arrow is a nice rifle, but I have no idea who would import it. Try Marstar. I have heard there import fees are reasonable.
BTW it's nice to see someone with a realistic price in their heads for a .50

GODAMIT MAN! Now I have to buy one!

If I was buying one I would check with PGW Defence Technologies, the old Prairies Gun Works now renamed. I'm not sure of prices but I think that they will be within your price limit. Not sure if they do mag fed as their web site is under construction but e-mail links are there to contact them for questions.
