A buddy and i went to the gun show over the weekend, between the two of us we pretty much filled our wish list for the year.
He did convince me to go in with him on a 50cal. 7 shot bolt action rifle.
WOW what a weapon, took it out sunday late, and incredible accuracy, amazingly so. I had McMillan build me a 300 win mag about 10 years ago, it shoots a 1-1/2'' group at 1200 yards, they provided a list of loads to use, and they worked well. I thought that weapon was accurate, but the 50 put it to shame at about 3500 yards. man what a shooter, the optics (german) he purchased is unbelievable.
It still shoots a good group, the shooter however has lost some of his ability.
I was amazed at the lack of recoil on the 50, pleasurable to shoot.
Ran out of ammo, and money to purchase, but J & G has plenty to buy.
will try and post some pics from next trip.
Its my first time shooting a single 50,
weights in at about 28 lbs, not too shabby.
oh well another well to thow money in.
adios
