50 BMG In Victoria

[Crazy]

Hi all I know there's a couple guys on the forum from NSW who own 50 BMG is there anyone in Victoria who owns 50 BMG? I'm currently interested in long range and big bore rifles so I'm really interested in what is the process to purchase one in Victoria.
Cheers.

G'day Crazy,
Currently there are 2 paths to own & use 50 BMG rifles in Victoria, 1st is the one Monty Shooter posted, SSAA Mildura Long Range Rifle Club who organize regular competitive shoots, the contact details and attendance requirements are on the SSAA website and the Military Rifle Club who have 4 organized shoots per year eligible for 50's & the ability to practice 2 times per month. MRC approval requires 12 months active membership before we will sign off on a permit, Mildura, I believe, only requires that you attend 3 shoots and use a club 50 under instruction, Cheers.

Are you able to shoot them on private property to zero them in or are they limited to only range use like pistols?

It's just like any other caliber.
Some ranges may not let you use a 50 though.

Haha! I was doing some firearm training at eagle park once and the army was down there with their 50cals.... one bot shot it... got up.. and 30 seconds later his nose was bleeding from the kick / muzzle break

Try the Warracknabeal rifle club. I think they are into the big stuff.
