The .50 BMGs start at $1748, the .338s start at $1348 and the .416s start at $2048. The .416s have been getting a lot of attention, lately.

Here's why: we wanted a long flat top rail to give the operator more real estate / flexibility, for obvious reasons. Based on user feedback and since it was a nominal extra cost, we added a long rail on the bottom, too. Without the side rails, it just looked weird. Since it wasn't much more money or trouble to add the side rails, we went ahead and did it, figuring, "why not? It'll be there if someone wants it" Steve, thanks for the mention, it's an honor.

A quad rail? You know, 'cause sometimes having a 50 isn't cool enough and you have to accessorize. I'm not sure what you'd accessorize it with, but It's good to know you can. Ooo! A quad rail?

Integrated rail machined into the receiver not make mean the rail is as strong as the receiver itself, but it is also much better aligned than a screwed in rail could be. As for a quad rail: bipod, infared devices, huge night vision scope system etc. Why?
