Should I buy a 416 or a 50 caliber rifle?
If you’re dead set on the ’82, .50 is the clear choice. Other than being a prisoner in the PRK where you can’t own a .50, I cant see owning a 2-3 moa rifle in an expensive, esoteric, and elr oriented caliber like .416. With ball ammunition being readily available and relatively inexpensive the .50 is the winner.
