.50 beowulf is certainly easier to clear a room with.... but can it reach out & touch a mile?

Re: It ain't got a Lever... but OMG!
Me want.
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Re: It ain't got a Lever... but OMG!
That's a heck of a rifle. It would make a heck of a rock breaker that's for sure. As for the 1 meter at 1.5KM accuracy, it don't matter, I can't shoot that good anyway.

On the serious side, I don't know of anywhere one can just go shoot a gun like that. Not many places with enough range to really wring it out.
That thing would be a hoot with tracers.

Re: It ain't got a Lever... but OMG!
My nephew has a .50 BMG bolt action. I've shot it two or three times. It's a hoot to shoot but I'm glad I don't have to feed it. We've got a place on the farm marked out to 850 yds and it's a good thing it has a high power scope on it. I can't even see 850 yards any more . Wonder when someone will come out with a sporting version of the 20 mm

Re: It ain't got a Lever... but OMG!
If I am doing the math right, the accuracy of that thing is 2.4 MOA. That is probably accurate enough, but a Sharps 50 would likely do better.

Re: It ain't got a Lever... but OMG!
I remember the M2's going off on top of our M113 APC's and the whole track would move with the recoil. Amazing that you can put that round into something so small and still have it well under control. They did an amazing job to get that put together, and I admit, would be the ultimate in fun. If fired in a room though, I would imagine you could kiss your eardrums goodbye.

You guys need a reality check.
Cost a fortune to shoot that thing.

Yes... so? If cost of ammo were an issue, you couldn't afford the gun.Mescalero wrote:You guys need a reality check.

Same same with any .50 BMG. Got a guy at my church who had a custom .50 BMG built to hunt 'yotes on his ranch. Ammo that costs $2/rd doesn't faze a guy who spends 5 figures on a gun.

Joe, it would be hard to mount irons on that thing the way the barrel moves anyway (kidding) The rifle looks fun though
Sadly enough, most of my truly powerful "big boy rifles" (Weatherby's with cartridges seemingly as large as Red Bull cans ) - just sit around doing nothing --- they were fired a few times when new, and again when hunts were scheduled that they would be useful for -- but other than that they just sit there looking ominous --
So i would like to own a .50 in theory , but everytime i start thinking seriously about it, i look at the lonely .30-378 sitting in the corner of my gun room getting unused with an under-utilized high dollar optic on top and i sigh

Re: It ain't got a Lever... but OMG!
That is sweet. I made a post about bullpups just yesterday on a forum.
Personally id love to have a .454 casull (I know rimmed is hard for auto) or another very high pressure small cartridge in a bullpup.
I found this one too, its a BAR converted into a bullpup. Sounds like awesome IMO.
