I think with right scope on it, I can hunt elk in Colorado without actually leaving Dallas.

I just saw the previews for John Carter at the movie theater last night, and adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian Chronicles. The preview shows John Carter in a gladiator arena, taking on some kind of giant martian animal.........with a sword. He could have sure used one of these rifles. :mrgreen:

Ha! That argument is a slippery slope that never ends and is not the argument we want to see here. Heck, I can bring down a white tail with a hi velocity .22 if I pop him in the brain pan and he's not over 50 yards away so why would we need any other caliber?

We have them big guns because we can!!

Could be a pretty spectacular anti-armor weapon with the right kind of projectile. I have to wonder what kind of effective range it has..... :shock:

With a bullet that heavy I would guess not very far with the drop involved.
