Just me day dreaming again but wouldn't it be awesome to have a smaller version of the M82A1 chambered in .223 or .308? And a little smaller than the actual size. It would be pretty wicked!
 
They make a few .338 Lapua PRs, but the majority of them are .50 BMG. (98B and MRAD)

Honestly with a rifle that size and of that weight, anything but 50 or 408 Cheytac would not be worth it.
 
Thats a pretty cool idea.

Your thinking of an M82A1 chambered in a smaller caliber, with the rifle scaled down to the correct size as well. I love the idea.

If it came in 300 win mag, 30-06, or 308, I would be all over it. :D

Too cool just thinking about it.

Shame, if it ever did happen, we would not see it.

From the list of Prohibited Firearms, When did this happen? Has it always been prohib or is it a recent addition?

The firearms of the designs commonly known as the Barrett "Light Fifty" Model 82A1 rifle and the Barrett Model 90 rifle, and any variants or modified versions of them.
 
I think I saw something like what you are looking for, in a smaller calibre. I'll take a pic of it and post it here in the next few days. I guess maybe dreams can come true, but from my understanding with talking to the owner, it's pretty pricey.
 
That's true.

And also why would it be prohibited? I thought they made it prohib because it was 50 BMG and also if it was smaller size and maybe if had different internals it could be non restricted .
If you look at what's considered an M16 or AK-47 variant, you'll note that the RCMP has a precedent of classifying if it even looks remotely like the firearm it was modeled after, regardless of innards.

Well that just blows. There is nothing wrong "scary" about the gun. I don't see why they had to prohibit it in the first place.

Well M16 variants are classified as restricted because they are based off an assault rifle pattern. AK's are prohibited because the RCMP think that they are based off an assault rifle pattern that belong to commie baby eaters.

I got to say though there is a lot scary about a barrett. In my books that makes it awesome-er?
 
I thought all Barrett rifles were prohibited here because the US didn't export them...
I figured that was why would could still get stuff like the MacMillan.

On a side note I heard on CRR that a new Canadian company is making bolt action 50s that we can buy... maybe they'll make something thats like a scaled down Barrett.
That would be cool

You can buy the Steyr HS-50 from Shooting Edge and Badger arms supply. I know Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply has a few in there shop as well

AR's were going to be prohib, too. DCRA made the argument that they shouldn't be, so that's why we have the cluster#### situation we have right now...

Please do. You've gotten me all curious now...
 
I guess "to each his own" applies, but I don't get the point. Things like the Barrett are specifically designed for very large calibres. Many of the 'cool' features and look of it (say, for example, the muzzle brake) are a result of engineering requirements for that sort of round. A rifle that merely emulates that look but fires something that doesn't require that engineering is, almost by definition, a weapon designed with looking cool as the primary requirement. Not that there isn't apparently a huge market for that sort of thing -- but a Barrett chambered in .223? Really?
