Fortmeier 50BMG single shot rifles for sale

#1 Post by Ovenpaa »

I have three shiny new Fortmeier .50BMG single shot rifles coming in. These rifles are fitted with switchable Lothar Walther barrels and come with muzzle brake, bipod and 30,0mm 'scope rings so as the picture below, all you need do is bolt a 'scope on and feed it.

If you are not familiar with Fortmeier then check out the Steyr HS50 and are apparently designed by the same person and built under license so this is virtually the same rifle with some minor design tweaks, the manufacturer claims sub half MOA accuracy with hand loads,

One has already been sold and priced at GBP3450 plus RFD transfer I doubt the other two will be available for long so shout if you are interested.

There is a bit of a write up here:

the bit that worries me is the Bang £5+Bang £5+Bang £5+Bang £5

But good luck :cheers:

Milsurp is currently about £2 a pop (£2.20 for tracer) - hand loading works out better and is pushing towards the cost of high end .308 competition rounds

Depends where you buy it from, I would suggest GBP2 is closer to the mark.

EDIT, Mike beat me to it.

I was made aware of some at a very good price this evening, I just have to decide if I want to buy 1000 rounds....
