Butcher:
Where did you find the .50 cal rifle? I just went to the gun runners, and killed them. The Robot in the sealed vending box wasnt selling any 50 cal rifles, and there was also pretty much nothing good inside the small gun runners compund.
Thanks
I bought mine at the Gun Runners, and later found it again at the NCR armory. I was at least level 16 or 17 though so I'm starting to think that they may not even be available to purchase until you've reached a certain level. Also, if you wait two days or so usually the Gun Runners, or any merchant for this matter will restock changing some of the items they have in stock. I'm sure the .50 Cal can be found elsewhere earlier in the game but nowhere to my knowledge.
