The Thompson TAO50 (brand part no. TAO50) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .50 BMG with a 29-inch barrel, built by Auto-Ordnance to be one of the softest-recoiling .50 BMG rifles on the market. Auto-Ordnance tops the barrel with a patent-pending, high-efficiency muzzle brake and feeds the action from Barrett M107A1-pattern magazines for 10-round capacity. The rifle rides on a black polymer Magpul PRS Gen3 stock with a Magpul MOE+ grip, both mounted to a black anodized receiver with a full-length Picatinny rail for optics, and ships with a Barrett Accu-Tac bipod for stable prone shooting. Among bolt action rifles, this TAO50 favors long-range shooters who want a magazine-fed .50 BMG platform without punishing recoil.
