What do you get when you buy a m107 over an M82?
What are you giving up in long range performance if you buy the 82QC over the regular 82? Does it make a huge difference in ballistics both exterior and terminal? |

M107 gets you:
spiked bipod feet Slightly different take down pins, (not sure what they are good for) Standard rear monopod, but most m82's come with that option anyways Serial number is M107 vs M82 Thats it Others can probably elaborate. If your looking at plinking type shooting inside 600 yds, go with the CQ, If you dont mind the extra weight and length and plan on shooting farther then the longer version might be your best bet. Just know that these guns are not "bench grade" bolt guns. they are designed to shoot rapidly and be able to hit slightly larger targets at extended ranges and are not as precise as the bolt guns out there, Tyipcal accuracy ranges from 1-3 moa.

As above, the differences between the M82 and the M107 are minimal. I'd go with whichever one you find cheaper....almost always the M82.
The M82CQ is a poor tradeoff, in my opinion. Makes the rifle shorter and a little lighter for big tradeoffs in muzzle velocity. Lets face it, a 50 BMG isn't really portable...why have a 50 BMG "entry gun" like the CQ? It was designed for the Coast Guard to shoot engines out of drug boats from helicopters at close range. Other than that, I'd only buy an M82CQ if I already had a standard M82 or XM107. And yes, if you want long range precision that is field portable, get a Barrett M99 with a 32" barrel. If you want a great bench gun, get an Armalite AR-50. -David Edgewood, NM |

A bolt bun is significantly more accurate than a semi auto ... from small caliber all the way up to 50 BMG.
I own a M82CQ and can personally say that I have never thought it lacking in the velocity factor. It being 9" shorter makes it significantly easier to haul around and, I believe, more manageable. We've had this discussion 100x in this forum, but at 600+ yards the velocity lost will be negligible vs the accuracy of the M82. Meaning ... before you start bitching about the velocity lost - you will be bitching about the 1-2 MOA. Personally my thought on this matter is ... if your not shooting out 2 miles; the 200 fps you lose isn't gonna matter much when shooting a slug the size of your thumb. Sarg |

Quoted:
plus the m107 comes with 2 mags instead of one plus it also comes with 200 rounds of 50 cal ammo, it is basically the military marked version of the 82 my m82 was packaged with 2 mags, so im not sure that rule holds. And I wouldnt assume ammo is included unless specifically listed in auction or by dealer. CJG |
