Desert Eagle .50

[Cestep72]

A friend of mine just called and offered to sell me his .50 Desert Eagle for $1000. I am wondering is it worth it?

That's the lower end of the price range

 

[Racechase1]

Just remember, if you buy the gun, do you have enough money to pay for the shells that go with it?That ain't cheap to take to the range.

 

[Cestep72]

Really? I better jump on it then. Thanks

Have you priced and sourced ammo lately?

Might find yourself with a $1000 paperweight.

 

[Cestep72]

What about the Desert Eagle .45? I think he is wanting to sell it also. What would be a good price for it?

 

[Cestep72]

I have always liked the way them. I'm sure they will stay in the safe.

 

[Cestep72]

instead of them it should they look

 

[iauffenberg]

would be a good gun to flip but i would hate to pay for the ammo if you want a eagle i would go for aa 44 mag

I bought mine new last summer for 1275. Not the SS version. I would not sell mine for that. I haven't had to much trouble finding ammo. The price has not been effected by the craziness. It is fun to shoot. Loud and kicks a little bit.

If youre going to buy a deagle it better be in 50AE -- anything less is frowned upon

The 44mag looks pretty awesome though.

I agree. Go big or go home!

It definantly has a wow factor! It would be like getting a Chevelle and not getting the SS. lol

On a serious note, the 44 mag conversion is a drop in. A barrel and a magazine is all that is needed and them you can shot both caliber. I have a Super Redhawk in a 44mag that I love. I might pick up the Barrel and Mag though.

id jump on it , but only if the 50AE so then you could have the drop in's of 44mag and 357mag ........ always nice having one gun with 3 rounds ..

on a side note, have you held it ? you need gorilla hands to hold well and can NOT limp wrist it (won't cycle)

44MAG deagle is better to shoot, ill give you that.
Thats like owning a JERICHO 941 not in 9mm

it doesnt make sense

I saw a guy in Bradis last week who walked in with 4 of them! He was just checking on values and they told him in the $2K range.

I have one in .44mag, and I like it very much.

I see no need to move up to .50AE

Gorilla hands were mentioned? I'm no gorilla at 6' and 140lbs, but it does take all of my hand to hang on to it. Both hands if I want to hit anything with it.

It has a huge wow factor, but after shooting a friend of mine's I'm not a huge fan. I could find something better to spend $1k on just my

Btw, if you run out of ammo you could always use it as a hammer.

A new "Chinese" version?

I never heard of any DEagle NOT SS. The funnest version to shoot, sniper-style is the .357 mag w/ the 14-inch barrel. No flip, and the action is like in slow motion, rotating, running back going forward w a new stripped round ... nice feeling. I've had the .50AE in 6-in & 10-in barrel-length, and the 10 is easier on the wrists and ears. Sure draws a crowd at the range; I charge the shooters $2 per round to shoot my ammo. Yes, the .50AE is spendy, but so is a Masseratti. Which ain't no Vega. One DEagle is worth 2 bare-bones AR- platform guns, in my trading experience. A LOT of fun. And a man-stopper as well. Prepare well for that follow-up shot !!!!

Wrists & hands:

I use a pair of "interrogator's gloves," with lead shot in the back of the hands. VERY good grip, keeps*the gun from twisting, and quite comfortable to shoot.

I see no need to move up to .50AE
