Our Assessment: The Noreen Ultra Long Range (ULR) in .50 BMG is a single-shot, bolt-action rifle engineered for extreme-distance shooting and is renowned for its robust construction and precision at extended ranges. As an American-made rifle, the Noreen ULR caters to long-range shooters, competition marksmen, and enthusiasts of large-caliber firearms, specifically those interested in the capabilities of the powerful .50 BMG round. This rifle stands out in the world of long-range shooting for its minimalist yet highly functional design, blending simplicity with high-caliber performance. The ULR features a robust, heavy-duty steel receiver and a solid, removable bolt-action mechanism that accommodates the pressures of .50 BMG ammunition. The rifle’s barrel, measuring 34 inches, is match-grade and designed to optimize bullet velocity and stability over extreme distances. It’s threaded for compatibility with muzzle brakes, which helps manage the substantial recoil generated by the powerful round, improving comfort and control. This long barrel, paired with a rifling twist optimized for .50 BMG, is key to the rifle’s impressive accuracy, particularly beyond 1,000 yards. Weighing around 32 pounds, the ULR is not designed for mobility but rather for setup on a stable platform, such as a bipod or shooting bench. Its weight and build are geared toward minimizing recoil and stabilizing the rifle during long-distance shots, making it an ideal choice for long-range bench rest shooting or fixed-position shooting. In addition to the .50 BMG version, Noreen offers other caliber options for the ULR, but the .50 BMG variant remains one of the most popular due to its reach, stopping power, and appeal to serious long-range shooting enthusiasts. The rifle’s single-shot configuration and strong build ensure reliability, reducing complexity and the possibility of mechanical issues. This straightforward design, coupled with the power and range of .50 BMG, makes the Noreen ULR a favored choice for those who seek accuracy, power, and reliability in a large-caliber, long-range platform. -R.E.
