It has been a long time coming, but I finally was able to get my .50 BMG Ultra Long Range rifle completely set up and ready for some range time. What I ended up getting was the following:
- Noreen ULR .50 cal BMG
- Nightforce NXS 5.5-22×56 with the MOAR reticle
- Warne Tactical 30 mm U-Hi rings
- Noreen 30 MOA rail
My ultimate goal is to get up this bad boy to shoot out past 1000 yards. I also picked up a Remington SPS Tactical in .308 to play around with and get back into long range shooting, but I will cover that rifle later on.
Here is my Noreen in all its awesomeness and glory.

The trigger is absolutely amazing. It is perfectly smooth, crisp and is just a little lighter than the 3.5 lbs trigger on my AR. Now comes the time for me to find some ammunition for it that is not $6-$8 per round. There are some remanufactured rounds for sale over at the local sporting goods store for around $4 a piece, but I am not sure how well those will work in this rifle. Noreen told me that military surplus does work, but I am kind of skeptical of using it. Having been in the military and spent 3 1/2 years with Marine infantry and tanks, I know how bad those rounds look. They are anything but shiny or undamaged.
This is another picture of my new setup.

All said and done, I am really impressed by both the reviews and physically apparent craftsmanship of the equipment I purchased. The rifle is single action and definitely no frills, but it is well made and simple. There is nothing here to really break or wear out.
I hope you like this post and to repeat what I said previous, I will get you some range reports once I get ammunition figured out.
Have you ever gotten a chance to shoot the Noreen ULR? I have been thinking of getting one but review are pretty much nill. How is the bipod? I was told the earlier ones sucked, but it looks like you have the upgraded one.
I have shot it and at 200 yards it was extremely accurate…. This being said, I did not have enough distance to truly sight it in properly because I put a 20 MOA base on it. It seems that I will need to push it out to 300 to get the proper elevation.
