harpoonlouis Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Just watched this....http://www.businessinsider.com/check-out-the-largest-caliber-rifle-ever-produced-2013-8 2400 grain bullet, 2100 fps, 25,400 ft lb muzzle energy and 277 ft lb recoil. "Lock slowly" he says, so a hair trigger too? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 As above, why not? But, at $40 a pop, it's probably not for everyday shooting. Or everyday targets. I suspect you would need mammoth or APC on your ticket for this to be granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm the first to admit that I like stupid stuff, but I wouldn't want one of those. That's just daft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmer Fudd 1 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) compensating for a small calibre body part ....or if you like your bunnies to look like bean bags! hopefully they make a carbine version with a folding wire stock Edited August 2, 2013 by Elmer Fudd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I once read an article on detached retinas. Since then I have lost any interest I had in proving I can handle recoil. In any case, I can't. I'm a bit of a wimp really! Even my .338 Win Mag is enough to make me put it down after half a dozen shots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
