Can also order from SFRC - HS50 or the mag fed M1 version as well. Love mine!

Did you get any spare mags?

Just the one mag it came with. I saw a spare mag listed somewhere in Canada for a mere $500! Ugh.

Yep. They are laser welded and tolerance has to be next to nil.
I have one on order.

2 questions for fellow HS 50 / HS 50 M1 owners:
1. Do you notice that the bolt binds when being inserted and does not move easily to the back of the receiver? Is there a trick? Careful alignment seems to help, but it is annoying.
2. Any procedures for thoroughly cleaning the huge (and effective) muzzle brake?

I think the bolt just needs a firm push from the beginning. If it binds you have to pull/remove the bolt, check alignment and try again. That's my personal experience.
Manual does say safety must be engaged before inserting the bolt.

1. The bolt has a faint line that you line up with the edge of the receiver slot and it should slide right back. once I noticed that it made it a lot easier to get the bolt in.
2. I use a small toothbrush looking cleaner for the brake. I have since changed over to the ATRS Brake, while it does not look as cool it sure does make the rifle better to shoot from snow or sand/dirt without sandblasting yourself and anyone else nearby.

Slight hick up - the scope is touching the monolithic rail.
Contacted Mr. Spuhr on Facebook and within minutes he is sending me a higher mount.

Mag size difference between the 50 and 308 is YUGE.

Same thing happened to me, ended up not using my S&B scope and using a Sightron instead. Can you let me know the model number of the Sphur that you get sent (and that hopefully works) - that full-length rail is tough to get high enough over!

I'd be interested to see how the Sightron holds up. A friend of mine told me he broke 2 scopes (Leupold & IOR) on his semi-auto 50. He has a NF on it now.

So far so good, but only 50 rounds on it. My other .50 is a DA50 AR-15 upper - stouter recoil that took out a Vortex scope (each shot got blurrier as the parallax system dislodged). The side focus / parallax knob on the Sightron allows for minimal-clearance mounting.
I had the same issue trying to mount my premier reticles scope on the M99. I had a Leupold mk6 in a spuhr mount that worked though - smaller objective.
What height of mount are you going to use? It'd be handy to know.
Great pic comparing the mags too. I can't wait to hear a range report.
