My cousin (big farmer) owns a Barrett 82 semi. It's pretty awesome, but he is stuck with shooting military ammo since he doesn't have the reloading equipment yet. He purchased the rifle over a year ago for under 8k and still kicks himself for not buying the other 2 available. The price has shot up since then.
The bolts are supposedly more accurate, so keep that in mind if you are looking for 1 mile + shots.
Oh, a fully loaded M82 mag carries around 1 POUND of lead. That's badass.
I can give you a review of my .338 Lupua Mag if I ever find powder. It's a nice round that is more accurate then the .50, but it isn't anywhere near the .50's "holy shit!" factor.
