Clearly you've been overpaying for 50 cal
Its more then likely one that's not worth buying.

Lol wow some ones a sensitive Sally !
The canstar is probably the cheapest aroun 3500 new IIRC , after that you'd be looking at a styer hs50
Keep your eyes peeled for a nice used one with the attitude that beggars can't be choosers

Buying the rifle is the least of your problems. The real pain begins when you have to feed it. $10 - $15 everytime it goes BANG adds up quickly. To put that into perspective the $3000 cost of the rifle only equates to 300 rounds of ammo. No other firearm has that kind of cost ratio to shooting it.
Who shoots a 50BMG at 100yds? Maybe at 1760 yds., it just opens up to 2 1/2"
Few guys that shot Canstar to sight in at 100yards have been saying it cannot group under 2" at 100yards. this was reviewed year or two ago. It's that bad i hear. im sure you could be able to hit a house @ 1000 yards lol

Cheapest doesn't come in to consideration with .50 BMG rifles.
If you want a decent one that won't break the bank, the Steyr HS50 or Barrett 99 are probably the best options at around $5k.
Don't forget optics and ammunition.
Unless you can put $10k in to everything to get shooting a big .50, don't even think of it. If you want to get in to long range shooting, start with a .308.
