Holy Crap...got an extra $25 grand sitting around?
« on: April 14, 2009, 09:03:06 pm »



GLOBAL RIFLES' DSR 50 Sniper Rifle

Made by the same team as the ultra-accurate DSR-1 at their factory in Oberndorf, Germany, DSR rifles are considered the "Bugatti Veyron" of long range rifles.  Global Rifles built their DSR 50 with special metals heated to extremely high tolerances, providing an accuracy that is second to none.  For example, the DSR-1 in .308 will shoot a 10 shot group at 1000 yards of 1.7 inches using factory ammunition.

DSRs do not recoil or jump when fired.  The new DSR 50 features a unique hydraulic recoil damping system and clip on tactical suppressor.  It has a suspensory bipod, so the rifle will find its own level on uneven ground, rather like water does.  It has an adjustable buttstock and cheek piece.  It is comparatively lightweight and compact in comparison with other .50BMG rifles.  The combination of these factors makes it not only ultra accurate, but user friendly.

A small number of extra rifles for civilian use can be made alongside the Military contract, and Global Rifle has already taken some orders.

Delivery will be 12-14 months for weapons added to the manufacturing run.

If you would like to order one of these much sought after DSR-50s you need to get your order in soon!  A non-refundable deposit of £2,000 (approx $2,979) is required with the order.

The price for the basic rifle is £16,500 (approx $24,573). The suppressor in the picture is an extra, as are the mounts, optic and bipod.  Final version may differ very slightly from this prototype.

Main features
•    Hydraulic recoil damping system
•    Light weight / short length
•    Clip on tactical suppressor
•    Adjustable butt-stock and cheek piece

    BS, I just watched a video of one being fired. It lifted itself off the ground with the recoil. It didn't shove the shooter back, but he was prone, that would take some doing.

    1.7 inches at 1000 is very good, though. I expect that by factory they mean the most expensive match ammunition they could find for sale, though, and that group wasn't made by human hands.

    You know... even if I had that much cash... I wouldn't blow it on a rifle.  That much for a rifle?  That's just insane.  It's a RIFLE, not a TOW Launcher.
    That being said - if they were to give me a sample - I'd take it and shoot thehelloutofit... because it's a rifle.  Not a Faberge Egg.  Regardless of cost.

    COMPLETE BS. :bs   I would have to be there watching, and still not believe it.  The current WORLD RECORD for ANY gun at 1k is something like 1.45", and that was coming from a 70+lb rifle chambered in .300 hulk IIRC. (.300 hulk being a .338 lapua mag necked down to .300, shoves 240gr SMKs, with a .711bc, at 2900+fps or som ething like that)  Oh, BTW, that was a 5 shot group.         I would be hard pressed to see a .308 rifle get anywhere CLOSE to 2", 5 or 10 shot group.  The ballistic downsides to the cartridge pretty much prohibit it.   Now, if they were indoor, and were shooting it out of a clamped rest, and using, like someone said, the best possible factory ammo you could find (trued after that with special tools of course), MAYBE they could get CLOSE.

    on there german page for the .308 version they claim

    "der dieselbe Präzision garantiert zu der die Munition im Stande ist."

    wich translates in to

    "our rifle is as accurate as the ammunition you feed it"

    they do claim 0.2 MOA for there .338LM Rifle with "high quality custom ammunition" @ 600meters, wich i can believe.

    With some of the posts flying around in this thread you would think Counter Sniper Optics moved on to a more profitable venture.

    $25k will buy me too much other stuff to blow on this. It doesn't even look as cool as the M82.

    Sure I do. If by sitting around you mean "parked in the driveway"...I don't need my cars, do I?

    Friendly after you factor out the probable wallet rape, maybe.

    and by slightly we mean "unable to hold 1.7" at 1000 yds". The rest will be true, though. Especially the price.

    this is odd.

    the DSR type rifle is built by a german company called DSR-precision GmbH.
    they normaly go for about 7k Euros for there .308/.300 WinMag/.338 Lapua, even if they double the price for the .50 model, that is still far off the claimed 25k.
    if you order via DSR-precision, you get the Bipod with it and that 'clip on suppressor', wich according to DSR-precision is not a suppressor, instead it is a "blast compensator" and does not do a good job at making the rifle Silent at all, and it has to be screwed on.

    sounds a lot less Mall-ninja like on the actual company homepage: http://www.dsr-precision.com/
