Is the $7,700 MSRP on the website accurate?  Never mind obsolete, practical sense, etc?  It's cool.  You have the load data handy?

I've long wanted a Colt SAA.  It would be partnered with a lever action.  I wanted one back when I lived in WA state.  My fishing/camping buddy had a setup like that, but primarily for when he went fishing up in AK.  Matching pair would be cool.
I'm guessing that's current, although, now that you mention it, might not have been adjusted for Bidenflation.  The Serbu BFG-50A has always cost less than the Barrett Model 82A1, probably due to less moving parts?  The barrel on the Serbu is retained by a barrel nut, so solidly mounted to the receiver.  The barrel on the M82A1 is held in place with springs, to allow it to recoil slightly.  The solid lockup of the Serbu is supposedly better for accuracy.

50 BMG load data?   :rofl:  I haven't even started to reload for my 6.5CM yet.  "one of these days"

On a side note. First up when I can get out to SRGC is load development for a few bolt action rifles, including 6.5 cm. I was getting on a roll right before KHSC got shutdown.

Just don't buy SLAP rounds from random people.
