Product Description
This rifle is the newest incarnation of the wildly popular AR-50 chambered for the powerful 50 BMG cartridge. A single shot bolt action rifle featuring a unique octagonal receiver bedded down into a V-shaped stock. Designed to be an economical answer for the challenges of long range shooting, the AR-50A1 is amazingly accurate and with its massive fluted muzzle brake, it has a very gentle recoil. The AR-50A1 is a highly refined rifle which is a stark and refreshing difference that maintains its superiority over its competition.
ArmaLite's great .50 has been refined, with smoother action, attractive new bolt stop, and even greater strength than the original AR-50. The same great accuracy, but now even more Beautiful.
*Shown with optional Scope, Scope Mount, Carry handle, Mono-pod and Bi-pod

Submitted By: Jeff B. On 06/23/2017I have now had this rifle for approximately 6 years now and it still continues to deliver the performance. I now reload using the new Lapua brass and RWS brass with Barnes 750gn solid brass projectiles along with Lehigh Defense 50 bmg projectiles. All perform well.
Actually, Allied Precision now has the carry handle available as well as an extended can't locking lever.

Submitted By: David M. On 11/28/2012This is an awesome gun and the customer service was great! I would recommend Hinterland Outfitters to anyone.
I live in Alabama and ordered this gun on Monday afternoon, got my FFL dealer to fax his FFL licence to them, and they shipped the same day. I received the rifle two days later - great job guys I love the gun!
Could not ask for better service somebody needs a raise. I will be buying from y'all again thanks again!

Submitted By: garrett w. On 11/04/2012I bought mine last year - This the most rugged and largest firearm I own. It doesn't come with bipod or rear monopod, but APA makes nice ones.
It's a great investment piece or target monster - I only take it out of the safe to scare my daughters' boyfriends. :)
It has increased in value by approx $600 in last year. Armalite no longer carries the traditional carrying handle for it.

Submitted By: Robert B. On 08/01/2011Wow! This is a superb rifle! With a Sightron SIII 6-24X50, I sighted it in at 100M using Federal XM33 ammunition. It took three rounds to sight in, followed by five into a ragged hole. I can’t wait to get it out on the 1000M range! The recoil is very manageable.
I could easily shoot this rifle all day. It is, however, very loud (no surprise there). I found that I needed earplugs and a headset. Oh yeah, it works very well against watermelon.
Hinterland Outfitters made this the most simple and pleasurable online firearms purchase that I have ever done. The fellow who assisted me on the phone was pleasant, very helpful, and enthusiastic. I will be a regular customer.

Submitted By: James G. On 06/05/2011Nice gun. Service by Hinterland excellent. Armalite needs to consider shipping with a case and bipod like Barrett otherwise everything as advertised and would use your services and products again.

Submitted By: Jeff B. On 01/03/2011Barrel required minimal break-in before producing a 1 5/8" printed group at 565 yards (second and third shots maintaining single hole) with Hunting Shack (HSM) 750grain A-Max loads. 1000 yard print was approx. 5". I did observe the anodizing on the stock is somewhat dry and agressive.
It would turn a light gray unless coated with some type of lube. Shortly after purchase, the stock was Dura-coated OD green. Problem solved. This actually helps linear recoil movement on the benchrest. This is a highly stable shooting platform with an efficient muzzle brake.
Recoil is more of a thrust than a heavy strike. Definitely benchrest quality in an affordable price range. Highly recommended. (The day the 565 yard group was shot, I was approached by 3 offers to buy the entire rifle setup).
