Buddy and I spent some time looking at the Bohica uppers this passed weekend at a gunshow. I had never really thought about getting a 50bmg upper. Bohica is local, and I have seen them (going to shoot one pretty quick here from someone else), I searched around here for a few hours and now see the Zels single shot uppers as well.  Any advanatges/disadvantages for one over the other? Looking for any perspectives and thoughts.  thanks

I've had one since Christmas and I love it.  In fact I picked up a new Bohica stainless steel lower and put it on it, instead of using my Bushmaster lower.  I've got a Magpul PRS stock and a Nightforce NXS 8-32X56 scope on it.  I've got the 30" barrel which I think is about the perfect length.  It uses powder better then the shorter ones.  As for recoil it does not hurt.  My 300 Winchester and 12 ga shotguns hurt but not the Bohica.  It moves you but a slow enough recoil that it is painless. You cannot go wrong with it. Chris is a stand up guy that will take care of you well.  Good luck on your choice.

. I just received my Zel Custom .416 Barrett 29" upper and the quality is perfect. Service is 100%.

I love my Bohica, never had any problems almost 100 rounds in it. service is 100% all time, chris is very helpful via email or phone! I'd be happy to buy another one from him someday, and refer my friends over to him too. I would say go forit.

I have no problems with my BOHICA.
It's certainly not a Barrett or a McMillan but for what it cost me it works just fine.

Between the two, I'd go with the Tactilite.

Of course if you are considering uppers, also look at ALS and Ferret50.

Did you ever end up selling your ALS? I noticed it on GB awhile back

Yep.  Sold it to a very nice guy in Oregon.  I'm sure he'll start popping up at matches in the very near future.  I was tired of FCSA politics.  And i'm happy shooting the small stuff these days.  Plus freed up some cash to do some other things.

Still plan on attending the FCSA regional matches in Raton for a while...match director lets me shoot my 338 Lapua and 308 WIN at 1000 with a target puller...just not sanctioned by FCSA....which is fine with me...I'm shooting for myself anyway, not to be published in a magazine.

I got an ALS a couple months ago and just shot it this past weekend for the first time, and I love it!  Great quality and very mild recoil for a 50.
