Description
Picture this: you’ve saved for years for that one legendary rifle. You want the reach, the power, the system that defines long-range precision. But you’re practical. You need a complete, ready-to-shoot package that delivers maximum capability for your investment, without hidden costs or compatibility guesswork. That’s where this specific Barrett 82A1 configuration comes in.
The Barrett 82A1 29″ Barrel, Monopod, Leupold Scope, Barrett Ultra High Rings, BORS System is a complete, semi-automatic .50 BMG precision rifle package. It includes the iconic Barrett M82A1 rifle with a 29-inch barrel, a Leupold long-range optic mounted on Barrett rings, a rear monopod for stable shooting, and the sophisticated Barrett Optical Ranging System (BORS) for automated ballistic solutions. This turn-key system is designed for extreme long-range engagement right out of the box.
Let’s break down the value. Purchasing each component of this package separately—the rifle, a quality scope like a Leupold Mark 5HD, the BORS unit, rings, and a monopod—would easily surpass the bundled price of $10413.50. You’re getting a curated system where every part is chosen for compatibility and performance. The Barrett Ultra High Rings are specifically engineered for the M82’s rail and the scope’s objective bell clearance, a detail that saves you from costly trial and error. The integrated BORS is the real efficiency play. This mil-spec compatible computer attaches to the scope and uses a laser rangefinder to calculate holdover automatically. That means less time with ballistic calculators and more time making first-round hits, even at distances where environmental factors get tricky.
The 29-inch barrel is the sweet spot for the .50 BMG cartridge in this platform. It provides excellent velocity for flatter trajectories, which pairs perfectly with the BORS’s calculations. The semi-automatic action, fed from a 10-round box magazine, allows for rapid follow-up shots if needed—a practical advantage over single-shot .50 caliber platforms. The included rear monopod offers a stable, adjustable rear support point, a must-have for precision work from a prone position. This entire package fits out of the box. You take delivery, and it’s ready for the range, with no gunsmithing required to mate the optics to the rifle securely.

Pros & Cons
The primary advantage is capability per dollar. This is a complete, battle-proven system from a single manufacturer (and their trusted partners like Leupold). The BORS technology simplifies long-range shooting dramatically. The cons are inherent to the platform: it’s a large, heavy rifle system (around 30 pounds unloaded), and ammunition cost is significant. It’s also a substantial financial commitment, though one that holds value exceptionally well.
Who is this for?
This package is for the serious long-range enthusiast who wants the definitive .50 BMG experience without piecing it together. It’s for the shooter who values a streamlined, integrated system over a custom build. It’s also a viable option for certain security and agricultural management roles where extreme range is a requirement. Given the price and nature of the firearm, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases. This package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide to compliant states.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What specific Leupold scope is included?
A: While exact models can vary, packages like this typically include a Leupold Mark 5HD or VX-5HD series scope, chosen for its durability, clarity, and compatibility with the BORS system and long-range .50 BMG ballistics. It will have the appropriate magnification range (e.g., 5-25x) for extreme distances.
Q: Is the BORS system difficult to set up or use?
A: Not at all. The Barrett Optical Ranging System is designed for field use. You input your specific ammunition data once. After that, you simply range your target with a compatible laser rangefinder, and the BORS automatically adjusts the scope’s reticle for the correct elevation hold. It removes the most complex mental math from the equation.
Q: Can this system be used with other .50 caliber ammunition, like surplus?
A: Yes, the Barrett M82A1 is designed to fire standard 12.7x99mm NATO (.50 BMG) ammunition. However, for the BORS to provide accurate corrections, you must program it with the ballistic data for the exact ammunition you are using. Consistency is key for precision, so results will vary with different ammo types.
If a ready-made, top-tier .50 BMG system that prioritizes practical performance over piecemeal assembly aligns with your goals, this Barrett package warrants a close look. View the full details on our product page.
