Its going to be in the 4 figure range, minimum.
Then the cost of ammunition. $10 a shot gets expensive after a while.
Most people who own .50's eventually sell them. They're too expensive to feed and too painful to continually shoot. So whats the use in keeping a gun you can't shoot. Thats why folks like .22's!

If you are not interested in black powder shooting, I would say that the Barret cal.50 rifle is the best you can do. They occasionally have a sale on their single shots. You should also check out the Fifty Caliber Shooters Association.

If you have to ask for the most inexpensive one, can you really afford to shoot it?
This is a very specialized, very expensive to shoot curiosity that's only for those with a lot of cash to throw around and a place that actually lets you explore it's range.
Several of the ranges in my area have banned them due to liability concerns in overshooting the backstops.
A guy at my club has a Steyr HS50.....he spent $4500 just on the rifle. I've seen cheaper ones like Vulcan for $3k used.

Only legal .50 caliber you're gonna get for cheap is going to be a muzzle loader.

AR-50, the Dunham's by my house was selling one. It's basically a civilian barret .50cal.
