Design and build

The Classic Hunter 50 Beowulf is built around a 16.5″ phosphate-coated barrel. The phosphate finish improves corrosion resistance and wear characteristics under heavy use, while the 1:20″ twist is optimized for stabilizing heavy .50-caliber projectiles commonly used in the Beowulf family.

Stock and ergonomics

The Pepper Laminated wood stock provides classic aesthetics and rigid support for the action. Laminated stocks resist environmental movement better than plain wood and offer a tactile, familiar feel for hunters and tactical shooters who prefer natural materials over synthetic alternatives.

Trigger and muzzle

The Velocity 3lb trigger is a key feature for precise shot control in a heavy-caliber semi-auto. A crisp, light trigger helps mitigate follow-up shot disturbance and improves shot-to-shot consistency. The barrel also includes a thread protector muzzle for accessory compatibility and protection when a muzzle device is not installed.

Performance and applications

.50 Beowulf brings large-caliber energy in a format that fits AR-style controls—effective for medium to large game hunting, brush work, and situations where straight-line terminal performance matters. The 16.5″ barrel keeps the overall package compact for maneuverability while the 1:20″ twist stabilizes the heavier bullets most commonly used in this caliber.

At a street price of $1600.99, this rifle positions itself as a specialized tool for shooters who want a robust semi-auto .50-caliber option without sacrificing ergonomics or trigger quality. For full specifications and purchasing options, View product details and pricing.
