What action can accomodate 50 bmg?

[Spcamno]

I am just curious to know if there is any bolt action big enough to build my first 50 bmg bolt gun?

I don't care if it will be a single shot but just want to know.

Thx

A very large an expensive one. Most are from the states so you are sh1t out of luck. Check out Ian Robertson, a contributing dealer on this forum http://www.robertsoncomposites.com/ He sells a Barnard action thats from NZ.

Why do you hope he is joking?

OP, check in the Precision Rifle forum, there are suppliers there that can do 50BMG stuff. I know Alberta Tactical Rifles has some units and can probably get or make an action for you.

RPA, and ATR made actions are readily available.

There might be some Farretts (AR uppers kicking around)

You can also rebarrel a Steyr or other commercially available rifle if you want better performance.

Yes, we do sell Barnard GP actions and Tru-Flite barrels for 50BMG. Like it was mentioned this stuff is not available from the USA anymore, no problem, however.
