Thanks to the new Shark Brake, not bad at all. Check out the videos on the web page. Whereas a high-powered, lightweight rifle will hit your shoulder like a hammer, the BFG-50’s recoil is more like having a big guy shove you with his palm. The Shark Brake is now standard. It is just like the old brake, but instead of 1/2″ holes in the sides there are machined cutouts that look like shark gills. We make them for other .50 BMG rifles; price is $125.
