Barrett Model 82A1 CQ 50 BMG Rifle

The Barrett Model 82A1 is one of the most iconic sniper rifles ever made. This 50 BMG rifle set a new standard in modern firearms, combining raw power with semi-automatic performance. Known worldwide as the Barrett M82, this rifle is trusted by militaries, law enforcement, and civilian long-range shooters.

This model features a tan finish with a close-quarter 20-inch barrel. The Barrett 82A1 is equipped with a steel optics rail with 27 MOA elevation, dual barrel springs, and a chrome chamber. Despite its massive caliber, the rifle’s design reduces felt recoil through a rotating recoil-operated bolt and self-loading action.

The semi-automatic platform makes the M82A1 faster to operate than traditional bolt-action sniper rifles. It can engage targets at extreme distances, proving why many shooters call it one of the best sniper rifles ever built.

The M82A1 first showed its value during Operation Desert Storm. Its ability to disable light vehicles, radar, and enemy equipment made it an indispensable 50 BMG sniper rifle. Today, it remains one of the most effective sniper guns in service.

Shooters looking for the best long range rifles often consider the M82A1. Its chambering in .50 BMG makes it one of the best long range caliber choices, competing alongside the 7mm Rem Mag and other best long distance shooting caliber options. Whether for tactical use, collecting, or testing the best caliber for long range shooting, the Barrett 50 cal delivers.

For those comparing price and performance, the Barrett 50 cal price reflects its unmatched engineering and history. It is also available in .416 Barrett for added versatility.

Barrett rifles are supported by a strong lineup of accessories, from magazines to optics. For hunters, the best long range hunting caliber debate often includes the .50 BMG, alongside smaller platforms like Beretta shotguns or Beretta 28 gauge options. Some even look at .50 cal air rifle alternatives, but nothing matches the power of the Barrett.
