I have been wanting to get into long distance shooting for a while and after trying to decide between .50 and .338 lapua, I have decided on a .50. So which one is the most accurate at the longest range? Price would be no object at all and ultimate accuracy would be my main goal. I was looking at the Barrett m107a1 for a while after seeing one at a range, but The m99 would probably be more accurate because it is a bolt action and its a lot cheaper too. A friend of mine own a McMillan Tac 50 and I wonder how that would compare to the Barrett rifles at long ranges? I know that no matter which one I get it will most likely outshoot me, but I was just wondering which has the ability to perform the best.
