The GM has confirmed that the rifles are meant to be used against helicopters and boats, meaning that .50 BMG is probably more attractive than .338 Lapua Magnum.

Maximum budget of $10,000 per rifle, which has to include bipod, scope, night vision and any other accessories that might be desired.

The current leading candidates for rifles are either new Bushmaster BA50s, if those rifles are good value for money, or used Barrett M82s of some kind.

I'm looking for good scopes that are decent value for money. Either night-vision scopes that can also be used in daylight (and work on a .50 BMG) or add-on NV sights that can be added to a decent scope.

I'm also wondering if one could use black-tip AP ammo for the M2 in a rifle. Would it be better to use a single-shot or bolt-action for that?
