MR Target Big 50 - Armored Steel 50 BMG Target
Description
The Big 50 is the ultimate steel shooting target engineered for the most powerful rifles and belt-fed machine guns on the planet. Built from 5/8" thick AR500 armor steel, this heavy-duty plate is purpose-built to absorb tens of thousands of rounds from .50 BMG, .338 Lapua, and belt-fed platforms without flinching. The massive 30" tall x 18" wide main plate weighs 77 lbs and mounts on a specially designed armored base, bringing the total system height to 38" and total weight to 110 lbs.
Whether you're running machine gun rentals, conducting long-range sniper training, or setting up a permanent installation at a shooting range, the Big 50 delivers unmatched durability with zero maintenance required. Tested at prestigious ranges like Cowtown Shooting Range in Peoria, AZ, one Big 50 plate survived over four years and hundreds of thousands of rounds - and came out smooth as glass.

FAQ
Is the Big 50 truly rated for .50 BMG?
Yes. The Big 50 is built from 5/8" thick AR500 armor steel, which is specifically engineered to withstand repeated impacts from .50 BMG, .338 Lapua, belt-fed machine guns, and other extreme high-caliber platforms. It has been tested by hundreds of thousands of rounds in real-world range installations with no structural damage.
Does this target require any maintenance?
No maintenance is required on the steel plate itself. The Big 50 is designed for permanent long-range installations where servicing the target is difficult or impractical. Occasional repainting is recommended to maintain visibility downrange, but the AR500 steel plate itself needs no upkeep.
What base is included with the Big 50?
The Big 50 comes with a specially designed armored base featuring dual modular uprights. The uprights are fully armored to protect against low shots, and the entire base assembles in seconds with no tools required. The fully assembled system stands 38" tall.
What rifle platforms is this target compatible with?
The Big 50 is compatible with a wide range of heavy platforms including Barrett .50 cal (82A1, 107A1, Model 95, Model 99), Accuracy International, McMillan TAC-50, Surgeon rifles, and belt-fed machine guns including the M249 SAW, M240, M60, and similar systems. It is also rated for .338 Lapua and other extreme calibers.
How does this ship, and will it require freight delivery?

What is the warranty on the Big 50?
