Description
Built for the heaviest hitters on the range. The 50 BMG Gong Mounting Kit pairs reinforced rubber chain with hardened hardware to manage extreme energy transfer from 50 BMG, 416 Barrett, and 408 CheyTac. Rubber chain helps absorb shock, reduces stress on mounting points, and delivers longer life compared to traditional steel chain. Designed for shooters who need a dependable, repeatable setup for long‑range big‑bore work.
This 50 BMG Gong Mounting Kit is compatible only with the Complete 60″ HD Gong Stand. Combined, they create a stable hanging solution that handles heavy recoil waves while keeping the target swinging freely. Set it up, confirm your zero, and run your long‑range program with confidence.

FAQs
Why rubber chain instead of steel chain?
Rubber chain absorbs impact energy from big‑bore rounds, reducing shock to the hardware and increasing mounting life. It also helps the gong move more freely on impact.
Is this compatible with my existing stand?
This kit is only compatible with the Complete 60″ HD Gong Stand. Other stands are not designed to support the weight and impact forces of big‑bore shooting.
What calibers is this rated for?
50 BMG ball and brass solids, 416 Barrett, and 408 CheyTac within the distances listed above. AP or API is not rated.
How easy is it to set up the 50 BMG Gong Mounting Kit?
The 50 BMG Gong Mounting Kit comes with all necessary mounting hardware. Simply attach the rubber chains to the stand using the included bolts, Nylock nuts, washers, and quick links, then hang your 50 BMG target. Setup takes minutes and requires no specialized tools.
