src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5349-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Barrett M107A1 sitting proudly in front of a tractor out on the farm\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barrett M107A1\u00ae has been available and fielded for over a decade. In 2023, I had the chance to fulfill a dream by putting it to the test. Over the course of two days, I shot approximately 90 rounds between target shooting, hunting, and stretching this 50 BMG out to 1265 yards. I also put the rifle through its paces with various drills, hiked five miles in the dark, and experienced an unforgettable weekend. While I normally run rifles longer before writing a review, we had an action-packed weekend and a good variety of situations to test the rifle with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barrett says every component of the M107A1\u00ae was engineered to be lighter and stronger than its predecessors. In addition to a 4-pound weight reduction over the M82A1\u00ae, the M107A1\u00ae is optimized for use with a sound suppressor, providing a much-needed signature reduction capability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-recoil-system\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recoil System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When people think of shooting a 50 cal, they immediately anticipate a ridiculous amount of recoil. Luckily for anyone who has the opportunity to shoot the Barrett M107A1 that is not the case. Using a massive muzzle brake, dual barrel recoil springs, a large buffer spring, and weighing around 28 lbs, this rifle kicks about like a 12 gauge shooting 3\u2033 shells. It is not quite as sharp as a 12 gauge, but the recoil impulse is much longer due to the distance the bolt carrier assembly has to move to eject and chamber another round. Shooting close to 100 rounds spread between two days, I never even ended up with a bruised shoulder. Kudos to Barrett for designing a rifle to tame the felt recoil of the renowned 50 BMG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5353-edited.jpg\" alt=\"The M107A1 buffer spring system\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The M107A1\u00ae buffer spring system<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5354-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The M107A1 dual barrel recoil springs\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The M107A1\u00ae dual barrel recoil springs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bolt-carrier-assembly\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bolt Carrier Assembly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M107A1\u00ae features a bolt carrier assembly that is suppressor-ready. It comes with a Nickel Teflon\u00ae coated bolt which requires less maintenance when shooting with a suppressor. This rifle is designed to shoot both suppressed and unsuppressed without the need to change any components. This carrier is the largest and heaviest I have seen. However, it is built to take a beating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5352-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Bolt carrier group for the Barrett M107A1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bolt carrier group for the Barrett M107A1\u00ae<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-stock\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the upgrades for the M107A1\u00ae is the \u201cthermal cheek guard\u201d featured on the top of the stock. This functions as a low-profile cheek riser that is comfortable and more temperature stable. The stock also uses a rear hand module which is mounted on an M1913 rail, helping shave some weight while providing a good resting point and shot control for the shooter\u2019s off-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also can be used to mount a lightweight monopod if one so desires, but I did not use it throughout my testing and just used rear bags instead. An interesting feature is the curved rubber butt pad. While I appreciate the dense rubber, I would have preferred a flat butt since the curved one seemed to draw my shoulder a little too low causing my neck to stretch a little to get a proper cheek weld when shooting laying down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5357-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Rubber butt pad, thermal cheek guard, and rear hand module for the Barrett M107A1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rubber butt pad, thermal cheek guard, and rear hand module for the Barrett M107A1\u00ae<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-sights\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this rifle is worthy of a high-end scope, Barrett includes a set of pop-up irons with this rifle. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation with ticks marked out to 1500 meters. I guess better have and not need than to need and not have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5362-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Adjustable rear iron sights for the Barrett M107A1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adjustable rear iron sights<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5361-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Front pop up iron sight tucked away into the upper receiver of the Barrett M107A1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Front pop-up iron sight tucked away into the upper receiver of the Barrett M107A1\u00ae<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout this review, I never did end up using the iron sights, but I did use a Vortex Razor 6-36 for target shooting out to 1265 yards, and a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro for hunting wild pigs at night. Capable of shooting very heavy projectiles at very long distances, the M107A1 features a 27 MOA Picatinny rail machined into the upper receiver. This is nice as it allows for more elevation adjustment for any scope mounted to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5350-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Barrett M107A1 features a 27 MOA Picatinny rail machined into the upper receiver\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Barrett M107A1\u00ae features a 27 MOA Picatinny rail machined into the upper receiver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bipod\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bipod<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While shooting this rifle standing up is doable, Barrett includes a bipod for going prone when accurate shots matter. The bipod is lightweight and the whole thing features a quick-detach mount. The legs can be stowed either forward or backward by simply pulling down on the arm and rotating. Each side is independently adjustable to compensate for uneven terrain and accommodate various shooting positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5358-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Adjustable bipod for the Barrett M107A1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adjustable bipod<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-magazine\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magazine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M107A1\u00ae comes with standard 10-round steel magazines. For a 50 BMG, that is a lot of heat. Featuring witness indicators on the rear of the magazine, it is easy to see how many rounds are currently loaded. Throughout my shooting, I never had a single magazine-related issue. They fed well and rocked in solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5359-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Barrett M107A1 10 round magazine\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Barrett M107A1\u00ae 10 round magazine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-muzzle-brake\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Muzzle Brake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M107A1\u00ae muzzle brake is a cylindrical muzzle brake that accepts the Barrett QDL Suppressor. One of the big perks to this weapon system is the fact that it was designed to run suppressed and the muzzle brake works as a great suppressor host. Also, due to the cylindrical muzzle brake, this is easier to shoot un-suppressed than the M82A1\u00ae muzzle brake which was known for a rather brutal muzzle blast. Even with the newer muzzle brake, the M107A1\u00ae still has plenty of blast. The gas-punching me in the face was not a pleasant experience, but the muzzle brake does a good job of reducing recoil and keeping the gun on target for quicker follow-up shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5365-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cylindrical muzzle brake that works as the QDL suppressor host for the Barrett M107A1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cylindrical muzzle brake that works as the QDL suppressor host<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-barrel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M107A1\u00ae is available in two barrel lengths: 20 inches and 29 inches. Both barrels have a chrome-lined chamber and bore, while being capable of pushing standard 660gr ammunition at speeds of 2500fps and 2750fps, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the 29-inch barrel offers greater velocity and is well-suited for long-distance shooting, it adds an additional 1.3 lbs to the rifle and made maneuvering in and out of vehicles while hunting more difficult. The 20-inch barrel, on the other hand, sacrifices around 250fps in velocity but is much more maneuverable. However, I will say that even the 29\u2033 version is still wieldable. I hiked roughly 5 miles through fields and pastures with night vision chasing wild hogs during this review. While the M107A1\u00ae is heavy, it is not unbearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both versions of the rifle feature deep flutes that help to reduce weight and improve barrel cooling during extended shooting sessions. Overall, the choice between the two barrel lengths will depend on the user\u2019s specific needs and preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5355-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Barrett M107A1 Deep fluted barrel\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Deep fluted barrel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-trigger\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trigger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a rifle as expensive as the M107A1\u00ae I would have loved to see a better trigger. While it works, I don\u2019t feel like I was as accurate as I could have been. I forgot to bring a gauge to measure the pull weight, but it was around 5 lbs. There was no real defined wall, and the slack was smooth yet springy as in the 5 lbs of pull was required throughout the whole trigger press. It got the job done but wasn\u2019t the typical precision rifle trigger people may think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5360-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Barrett M107A1 trigger\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Barrett M107A1\u00ae trigger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-accuracy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accuracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I have heard mixed reviews about the accuracy of the Barrett M107A1\u00ae, I had to test things for myself. During this part of the review, I shot a cardboard target from a distance of 100 yards while battling intense crosswinds of 25-50mph. Due to the wind, the target was shaking, and I had to admit that I was only a 1MOA shooter at best. Oklahoma wind can be relentless, so it was anticipated to cause trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5369.jpg\" alt=\"Shooting 100 yard groups with the Barrett M107A1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shooting 100 yard groups<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-precision\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Precision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering the circumstances, most of the ammunition I tested performed as expected, producing groups between 2-4MOA. However, I managed to achieve a 1.04 MOA 4-round group using match-grade PPU 725gr ammunition, discounting the fifth shot which I acknowledge I pulled. I have seen other people shoot sub-MOA groups using Hornady 750gr A-Max, which I believe is achievable after my testing. Unfortunately, I had ordered some, but it didn\u2019t arrive in time for this review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5368-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Groups shot at 100 yards with the Barrett M107A1 Lake City\u00a050\u00a0BMG\u00a0660 Grain M33 Ball, Magtech 624gr FMJ, Barrett 661gr M33 Ball, and PPU 725gr Match\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Groups shot at 100 yards, Top left: Lake City 50 BMG 660 Grain M33 Ball, Top right: Magtech 624gr FMJ, Bottom left: Barrett 661gr M33 Ball, Bottom right: PPU 725gr Match<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the average groups, I was still able to shoot a Ta Targets Goliath AR550 steel silhouette at distances ranging from 100 to 1265 yards. There aren\u2019t many targets that can withstand the power of a 50 BMG, but the Goliath held up well. Even at a distance of 100 yards, the steel target remained unscathed on the front face, with not even a dimple to show for it. Although it\u2019s a loud ringing target, we couldn\u2019t hear anything due to the 30-50mph winds, but it was satisfying to see the target visibly swing when hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5348-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The unfazed TaTargets Goliath target standing proudly after shrugging of some 50 BMG from as close as 100 yards\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The unfazed TaTargets Goliath target standing proudly after shrugging off some 50 BMG from as close as 100 yards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-devastation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hunting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my review, I took the rifle out for hunting, but I was unsuccessful in catching any wild pigs. However, I did come across an armadillo, which is considered a varmint and tears up our farmland. I deemed it necessary to quickly dispatch it with the M107A1\u00ae. The image below is a screenshot taken from a Pulsar thermal scope mounted on the rifle. Let\u2019s just say that it got the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5347-1024x754.jpg\" alt=\"Barrett M107A1 shooting an armadillo\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot from the Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-performance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my testing, the Barrett M107A1\u00ae performed admirably. While I didn\u2019t have the chance to test it with Barrett\u2019s QDL suppressor, others I talked to have reported that it works well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only problem I encountered was that by the end of the day, the rifle started to get gummed up with dirt. The combination of 30-50 mph winds and fine dust created a very dirty environment, which led to failures to feed. Fortunately, disassembling the rifle was easy thanks to the takedown pins, as illustrated in the user manual. After wiping down the chamber and applying more oil, the M107A1 was back up and running. In fact, it was able to cycle through 11 rounds in about 3 seconds without any issues, a mag dump to remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5346-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"11 round mag dump into a berm with the Barrett M107A1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">11 round mag dump into a berm with the Barrett M107A1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-summary\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barrett M107A1\u00ae is a powerful and durable semi-automatic rifle chambered in 50 BMG. It has a solid construction and ergonomic design, that made it easy to shoot accurately and bearable to hike miles with. I was able to get hits on a silhouette out to 1,265 yards. My best was a 1.04 MOA 4 shot group with premium match ammunition. The M107A1\u00ae had an MSRP of $13,275 when I tested it, and this rifle provides a lot of capability when used in the right circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>***
