Bushmaster Rises: Return of the Classic BA50 50 BMG
Originally published: August 30, 2024
Bushmaster is back in the biggest possible way!
Remember Bushmaster? The classic AR-15 manufacturer was a huge favorite among shooters, famed for its reliable and precise firearms for decades. Then, sadly, about 10 years ago, Bushmaster’s parent company became embattled by lawsuits and eventually went under, taking Bushmaster with it. But you can’t keep a Bushmaster down for long, and the brand is back. Is it ever! Right now, the improved BA50 Rifle in 50 BMG is available for purchase for the first time in much, much too long.
These uniquely American guns are 100% American-made and engineered for unparalleled performance. This cutting-edge rifle sets a new standard for precision, power, and reliability in the 50 BMG category to regain its place as one of the world’s finest weapons for long-range shooting. The BA50 is a highly modular rifle that uses fire controls that are familiar to all AR platform users.
New improvements to the bolt design bring effortless bolt operation, with improved extraction and cartridge feeding. The Bushmaster BA50 features a premium, robust, high-strength 29” heavy barrel, optimized for consistency and precision at extreme distances. Built with superior grade materials and a corrosion-resistant finish, the BA50 is designed to withstand the toughest conditions with minimal vibration to maintain better-than-MOA accuracy, round after round.
The included GG&G LCB-3 Heavy Duty Tactical Bipod provides shooters with improved control and stability. The Bushmaster 50-cal. also includes a fully adjustable Magpul PRS® GEN3 Precision-Adjustable Stock and an ERGO Tactical Super Ambi Grip. It comes equipped with a Picatinny rail for easy attachment of high-powered optics, ensuring clear target acquisition and accuracy. The Bushmaster BA50 is available as of August 29, 2024, through authorized Bushmaster dealers and distributors, or at Bushmaster.com.
