Overview
The ArmaLite AR-50A1B is a purpose-built single-shot bolt action rifle designed for extreme long-range precision with the .50 BMG cartridge. Engineered to deliver consistent, repeatable accuracy, this platform integrates robust construction with critical recoil mitigation components, providing a highly capable solution for dedicated long-range shooters. Its design prioritizes utility and performance, focusing on the fundamental requirements for engaging targets at extended distances.
Key Features
Precision Engineering
The AR-50A1B features a unique octagonal receiver, meticulously bedded into a V-shaped stock for enhanced stability and accuracy. It incorporates a heavy profile, 30-inch chrome moly barrel, engineered to optimize projectile velocity and maintain consistent harmonics. The rifle is equipped with a Shilen Standard single-stage trigger, set with an approximate 5-pound pull, providing a clean and predictable break essential for precise shot placement.
Recoil Mitigation
Managing the powerful .50 BMG cartridge is critical for shooter comfort and follow-up shot capability. The AR-50A1B integrates a massive Multi-Flute Recoil Check muzzle device designed to significantly mitigate felt recoil. This, combined with the rifle’s substantial weight and ergonomic stock design, ensures a manageable shooting experience, reducing shooter fatigue during extended sessions.
Modular Design & Portability
The V-shaped stock is constructed in three sections, featuring an extruded forend, a machined grip with a vertical orientation, and a removable buttstock. This modular configuration facilitates increased portability for transport and storage without compromising structural integrity or shooting ergonomics. The front sight base, with its modified octagonal form, is grilled and slotted for a MIL-STD 1913 scope rail, featuring a boss that engages a cross-slot on the receiver, ensuring a secure and repeatable optics mounting solution. A 15-minute sight base is included.
Robust Construction
Durability and operational reliability are paramount. The AR-50A1B is constructed with black hard coat anodized aluminum and manganese phosphated steel finishes, providing superior resistance to wear, corrosion, and environmental stressors. These material treatments ensure the rifle maintains its operational integrity under demanding field conditions.
Integrated GG&G Bipod
This specific AR-50A1BGGG model includes the highly rugged and versatile GG&G bipod. This integration provides a stable and adjustable shooting platform directly from the factory, enhancing the rifle’s immediate utility for precision long-range engagements.
