This is my AMAC single shot .50BMG. Weighs around 35 lbs plus scope which is the Leupold Mark IV with Mil Dots in 16X. At least I am only about a half hour away from the NRA Whittington range at Raton, NM, which has a 1,000 yard range which will is available to accommodate the .50BMG shooters. However, I still enjoy much more firing this one on their 200 yard range as that 1,000 yards is just a little far from my old ancient eyes. NO, the flag pole is not really leaning, I just failed to hold the camera parallel to the ground.
