Summary

Every American Son of Liberty should have experience with and possession of the most famous cartridge that John Moses Browning ever invented; the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun). Professor Paul recently reviewed a rifle that is a cost effective entry-level .50 BMG.

During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will talk about mounting optics on the big .50. During our Froglube Pro Tip, Paul has come up with another use for the Super Degreaser.

Also, during our SOTG Homeroom from www.SOTGU.com, we consider a recent OpEd on Shooting News Weekly. Do you offer advice when you are at a public gun range? Should you? And, how can we best be prepared to give good advice to new gun owners?

Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope you find value in the message we share. If you’ve got any questions, here are some options to contact us:

Enjoy the show! And remember…
You’re a Beginner Once, a Student For Life!

From www.shootingnewsweekly.com:

Before we go one step further, I want to go on record as stating that every American son of liberty should have access to and experience with a rifle that fires the greatest cartridge that John Moses Browning ever made, the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) round. 

That being said, any rifle chambered in .50 BMG might seem price prohibitive and that will be true for some. But with the correct budgeting, owning the most powerful centerfire rifle available can be done. Particularly if you don’t try to shoot your wad all at once. 

Noreen Firearms ULR 2.0 .50 BMG

A couple of years ago I walked into my favorite ranch store in Laramie, Wyoming and behind the gun counter was something I had never seen before. The rifle was big — very big — and painted in a desert camouflage pattern. I figured it had to be a .50 BMG and the clerk confirmed that it was indeed a Noreen Firearms ULR rifle.

The man behind the counter indulged me and passed the massive gun over for my inspection. I had that conflicted feeling in my guts. I really wanted to buy it right there and then, but the reasonable devil talked me out of it. No, the reasonable devil’s name is not Nancy.

All right, welcome to a brand new student of the gun radio.

0:02.8

Yes, indeed.

0:03.7

This is a 1-255.

0:06.6

And as we know, there's way more than 1,255 because we do a part one, a part two, a part three,

0:16.1

so on and so forth.

So essentially you could take that number and multiply it by three, I guess, right?

0:23.0

That makes sense.

0:25.2

Approximately.

0:25.6

Please, you have to keep in mind that we used to do five.

0:27.8

We used to one every single day.

0:29.9

Yeah, well, we did.

0:30.5

So.

0:31.1

Did we do five or did we do four?

0:33.1

No, it was five because it was Monday, Tuesday, we did Thursday, and then Friday was the

0:36.0

bonus hour.

0:37.2

Oh, that's right. Wow.

0:39.5

But when we did those, those were individually numbered, right?

0:42.8

Correct.

0:43.9

Okay. And we've been doing the part one, part two, part three for what, three, four years?

0:51.6

Yeah, wow now. Pretty good.

0:53.1

I think since, I think we're since the mountaintop studio in Saratoga.

0:58.8

Does that sound about right?
