.600 Nitro Express Magnum

I may be nuts, but I think this would tons of fun,

It could be useful when getting attacked by 5 people.

"OK, everyone line up."

Bam.

"Ahhh. I broke my wrist!!!! Ahhh."

"It's OK, you got a shot through all 5. You're safe."

I have a .454 Casull, so uh, no, not really.

 

[dbrier]

Isn't .5000 the largest caliber legal to own in the US?

Kidding... right???

 

[ashylarry]

man fook that. Ive shot a 500 magnum and thats about all Id care to shoot in a pistol.

 

[luvall]

Agreed -- fired a 454 twice - enough for me in this life.

 

[Fenway]

I'll pass.

 

[jeremy]

Nope, you can keep it!

 

[sanzo87]

it could be fun if counter weighted right. and if you think thats nuts look at the .700 mag round but its a long gun(fun but ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) lol.

I'm guessing it's not intended for concealed carry...

.700 nitro is biggest you can buy...250 bucks for 5 rounds if you want to pay that. I've heard the rifle to have made for the .700 Nitro will cost you every bit of a 100 grand(if not much more).

250 bucks for 5 rounds

For $50 a round you'd better hit what you're aiming for.

it's not like your comparing 9mm to a 45 acp, but more like comparing a 50 cal machine gun to a tomahawk cruise missle. I believe you can completely miss your target by a good portion and the shockwave the bullet will have as it passes by will blow your arm off.

my cousin has a double bbl break style .700 nitro express. i think it ran him around 250K but it is fun (but hurts like hell and will pick you up off your feet.) and its very pin point(if you aim it right.) and even if you miss the shock wave is enough to remove flesh from bone from i think its like a foot or better away. the dam thinks look like railroad spikes (the rounds that is)

Shooting that gets some kind of stamp on your man card.

 

[sanzo87]

that and an almost broken shoulder lol

if you don't place the rifle on your shoulder like you should, then yea...

At 13.23 pounds, 208.23 ounces, I figure it compares to my SRH .480 which weighs in at a light weight of 54 ounces, 3.31 pounds, just under 10 pounds lighter.
From bags, that extra 10 lbs of weight should absorb a lot of the recoil, and it shouldn't be much worse than a S&W .500.

I wouldn't necessarily want to own one, but if offered the chance to shoot one, sure wouldn't pass up it up!!!!
