I recently asked them a few questions about .50 Beowulf itself, and mentioned I was thinking of trying to build a Mauser in .50 Beowulf. They covered their butt with the usual "we can only comment on reccomended products" but included the line "in regards to your idea of a bolt action in .50...

I would like to research the idea of massacring a Chechz (sp?), Egyptian, or other inexpensive Mauser and rebarreling it to .50 Beowulf. The cartridge is a straight walled case, so a blank .50 barrel would be easy to chamber for it. The .50 Beowulf's rim diameter is based on the 7.62x39, which...

I am specifically looking at the 10x fixed power model with mil-dot reticle and target knobs. I have heard the Elite line has a good reputation, any personal experience? Before it starts, I CANNOT buy a $500-$700 Leupold. I can either put a mid-range scope on the rifle or not shoot it for two...

My rifle has been sporterized, so I'm going to do it right and have the receiver drilled and tapped for a scope base. What base does everyone recomend? I could also use some recomendations on rings and glass while you're here.
