So far the only thing I see close to that is what hasslefree carries. I've got a couple of their shotguns and liked the quality, but I'm not sure their rifle is big enough to look like a .50.  It's #12

If you're looking for actual Barrett .50 cal minis, check out MaxMini. They sell lots of 5 for pretty cheap.
Be warned, they're true 28mm versions of the barretts, so the barrels actually look kinda weedy compared to, say, bolters or lasguns. I have a set, haven't actually used them, but the casting quality was pretty good.

Nice! Which would you think look more powerful, the hasslefree or mazmini? I'm going to snipers with .50's as counts as autocannons. I need something that looks like it does some damage, and has a cartridge.

Honestly, based on their typical sculpting style, I'd guess that the Hasslefree guns would probably fit better with 40k's heroic scale. As big as .50 cal is realistically, they unfortunately pale in comparison to even grimdark sidearms.

I have had excellent luck using heavy stubbers as a base to make my own heavy rifles. I'll see if i can find a pic when i get off work.

I was about to suggest this heresy weapon
but seeing as you're going to be using it as an AC, I think that Hasslefree #11-12 would be good options. Are you dead set on it being a Sniper with a .50 or could it just be a trooper with a SAW?
