Accuracy International AX50 or Desert Tech HTI 50 Which one?

[338LM_Sniper]

I was thinking of picking up a new Desert Tech HTI 50 BMG but I found a good deal on a Like New Accuracy International AX50 Black in color with only 50 rounds thru it. I have decided to go with the Accuracy International AX50.

Did I make the right choice and why?

Thx

The AX50 is a very well built rifle, with great features & plenty of safety options.
I don't think you'll regret having it.

The only thing that DT interest me is her length using same barrel length as AI..

The one thing I didn't like about the DTA was the fact that when shooting it and your cheek is on the cheek rest, the big 50 BMG cartridge is right there in front of your face. Man if the round was to explode for some loading or case issue the shooters face would be FUBAR.

I like the fact that when the AX50 is folded it is at 43.9" in length, great for storage in the safe and it is shorter then the 45.75" DTA by almost 2" when folded. Plus the AX50 has a Bartlein Match barrel.

With the AX if you buy it at the right price you'll never lose money, good investment.

Well AI was supposed to bring out an AXMC version of the 50. It was on display at SHOT 2017. When it does come out your AX50 will be worth half.

Sounds to me like you have AX50 Envy.

I agree with 338.
I don't want my face any closer to a 50 than need be.
Had a ar-50, which was accurate and worked really well. Not as refined as my AI stuff but 1/3 the price and shot just as well.
It might be a option.
The best part is when you first pull the bolt out, it looks like the core of a paper towel roll.
