Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf Hunter
Introduction to the Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf Hunter
Rugged, precise, and with brute power to spare, the Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf Hunter is designed to tackle the nastiest big game North America can throw at you.
“This rifle makes me feel like Thomas Jefferson,” exclaimed my friend Cody, a retired U.S. Marine, after firing seven rapid rounds of .50 Beowulf into the Arizona desert.
The Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf Hunter delivers an experience that combines freedom, raw power, and hunting efficiency.
Every trigger pull unleashes the brute force of the Beowulf cartridge, producing a dramatic muzzle blast that leaves shooters in awe.
Despite producing 2,400 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, the felt recoil is surprisingly manageable—comparable to a 12-gauge shotgun.
This balance between power and control makes the .50 Beowulf Hunter one of the most versatile hunting rifles available today.

Exotic as it may sound, the Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf Hunter AR-15 is also practical. Chambered for .50 Beowulf, this rifle is capable of harvesting nearly every big game animal in North America. According to Alexander Arms, “The heavy bullets from the Beowulf are quite capable of breaking both shoulders of a moose.”
Its design retains the familiar ergonomics of a standard AR-15, but with modifications to the barrel, bolt, gas block, and magazine.
The rifle’s compatibility with standard AR-15 lower receivers ensures shooters can enjoy the benefits of the Beowulf cartridge without major adjustments to their setup.
In addition to power, the rifle boasts a stylish Kryptek Highlander Camo finish, a lightweight G10 composite free-floating handguard, and a 16.5-inch chrome-moly button-rifled barrel.
The Alexander Arms Millenium Compensator reduces recoil while creating visible flames even in daylight conditions—enhancing both performance and visual impact.
