The Bushmaster BA50 is a bolt action magazine fed rifle designed to shoot the .50 BMG cartridge. It has a 22 (carbine)or 30 inch match grade Lothar Walther free-floating barrel with a 1 in 15 inch twist rate (standard for the .50 BMG cartridge). The rifle weighs 30 pounds (without a magazine or ammunition) and has a muzzle brake to help tame the recoil. Bushmaster literature says that the rifle recoils like a .243 Winchester.
