MGM Targets The Monster .50 Cal Steel Rifle Target
Description
The Monster is MGM Targets' most formidable steel target - originally commissioned by a nuclear security facility that needed a target capable of handling serious long-range .50 caliber training. Built from 3/4" AR500 steel and weighing in at nearly half a ton, this target is engineered to absorb punishment from centerfire rifles, pistols, and shotguns without flinching. Its sheer mass and rugged construction make it the go-to choice for high-caliber, extreme-distance shooting scenarios where standard targets simply aren't an option.
Word spread quickly among serious shooters and tactical professionals, and The Monster has since become a legend in long-range shooting circles. This is not a backyard plinking target - it's a purpose-built training asset for law enforcement, military, and dedicated marksmen who demand the absolute best. If you want a target that earns its name, this is it.

FAQ
Why does The Monster require a freight shipping quote?
At nearly 960 lbs, The Monster far exceeds the weight limits of standard parcel carriers. It must be shipped on a freight pallet by a commercial freight carrier. Contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com before purchasing and we'll get you an accurate shipping quote based on your delivery location.
What calibers is The Monster rated for?
The Monster is rated for centerfire rifle, pistol, and shotgun - including large caliber .50 BMG applications. The 3/4" AR500 strike plate is specifically designed to withstand repeated high-energy impacts from the most powerful centerfire cartridges in common use.
What is the MGM Targets Forever Warranty?
The MGM Targets Forever Warranty covers this product against defects in materials and workmanship. For full warranty terms and conditions, refer to the MGM Targets Warranty page. This warranty reflects MGM's confidence in the durability and quality of their AR500 steel targets.
Is The Monster available for government or law enforcement purchase?
Yes. The Monster is available on the GSA Schedule, making it straightforward for government agencies, military installations, law enforcement departments, and other qualifying organizations to procure through standard purchasing channels.
Can I pick up The Monster in person instead of having it shipped?
Yes, local or in-person pickup is an option. Given the target's extreme weight of nearly 960 lbs, you will need an appropriate vehicle - an SUV or standard pickup truck will not suffice. A flatbed trailer or commercial vehicle with proper loading equipment is strongly recommended.
How many people does it take to move The Monster?
This is definitely not a one-person job. At 960 lbs, moving The Monster requires multiple people and appropriate material handling equipment such as a forklift, pallet jack, or similar machinery. Plan accordingly when choosing a placement location on your range.
