I work with a fellow forum member that is a fan of big bore rifles. In fact I am borrowing a 375 of his for the up coming big bore shoot in Ongaonga at the beginning of October but today he rocked out his latest investment for me to have a hold of.

What do you reckon @ebf? Should I bring a shortened Barrett 50 cal down to sort the men out from the boys? Ha ha ha ha like fuck I will!
you got a new belt
Yup, 10 extra "style" points if you bring that bad boy :thumbsup:
You lot better be prepared to sit on his butt when he lets one go then )
And keep him off his favourite brew until its done: for fear of further accidental discharges.
Camera angles can be deceiving.Quote:

That Ben, is a question for the owner. Shits and giggles perhaps.Quote:

No, I suspect not. It was purchase new and then chopped down very recently (and by recently, I mean in the last fortnight).Quote:

Youl need yr ears well plugged up.BANG
That muzzle blast is going to be impressive especially in low light conditions!
At least with the red dot… you won’t need to worry about getting ‘scoped’.
looks right at home with you holding it rushy, your more than welcome to take it to the big bore shoot if i cant make it.
I'm in shock
Mate, I reckon I would need to double the size of my ball-bag to even think about shooting that. The boys at the big bore would salivate over it as well. You should try to get there, everyone worth their salt drinks Waikato. The others that don’t are ....... well ....... girly men.Quote:

The damage to deer I shot with my 50 was considerabley less that than the likes of rem mags 338 edge etc with hunting projectiles.Quote:

I wonder how much potential kinetic energy is lost cutting the barrel that short.
Of course conservation of energy kicks in and what doesn't go into bullet velocity turns into muzzle flash and loudness, much loudness. At night it would be outstanding I expect.
Shit would like to watch that going :)
Would dam near singe the hairs of your left forearm wouldn't it?:D
+1 on the vid of being fired.
Take my money (-:Quote:
