Design and build: classic looks, modern function

The ALEXANDER ARMS Classic Hunter 50 Beowulf pairs a 16-inch barrel and durable black finish with a laminated wood stock and matching grip, creating a rifle that reads like a hunting classic but shoots like a purpose-built AR. The laminated wood reduces warp and adds weight balance for recoil control. Markings such as “ALEX-A 50 BEO” and “Cal. 50 Beowulf Model AAR-15” confirm its pedigree, and serial number 00711 ties this example to a unique collector identity.

Platform specifics and handling

A 16-inch barrel on a .50 Beowulf gives a compact package for dense woods or truck-bed carry while still achieving effective velocities for heavy projectiles. The 7-round capacity magazine keeps the rifle within common hunting and range-use norms. Its semi-auto action on a familiar AR-style receiver offers quick follow-up capability without sacrificing ergonomics.

Ballistics and field applications

The .50 Beowulf is designed for heavy-for-caliber bullets at moderate velocities, offering deep terminal energy for large game at typical hunting distances. Expect strong penetration and significant energy transfer—attributes that make this cartridge well-suited for thick-cover deer and hog hunting when legal and appropriate. The rifle’s configuration helps manage recoil and maintain aimability for quick, ethical shots.

Priced at $1499.99 and listed under the Semi Auto category, this offering comes with the original box and the listing invites prospective buyers to make an offer. For those seeking a blend of collector appeal and practical hunting capability, the combination of laminated wood aesthetics and Alexander Arms’ reputation makes this a distinct option.
