try putting some sewer lids down range. they react like clay pigons

 

I just went out shooting for some ground hogs with my AR-15

 

2 weeks ago I shot a squirrel with my thomson center muzzelloader. 230gr. looked like I put the poor thing through a pencil sharpener

 

You buggers are very lucky,up here they treat us like criminals for owning normal,bolt action rifles,get fancy like you fella's and we would be criminals.Really,no joke.One reason I would rather be an american.

 

Was out with my reproduction flintlock Kentucky rifle last weekend, and got off a shot at a big old blueneck tom.

Didn't hit him, but I sure scared the daylights out of him!

 

I've had the kids out plinking with the .22's lately. I surprised them when I filled the pop cans with water. Then I brought out the .223 TC Contender G2. Vaporized a gallon milk jug filled with water.

I would love to have one of those .50 BMG's, but for $2800 at Cabela's, I don't think the Mrs. would appreciate that too much. At least she wouldn't be able to pick it up (at 37 pounds) and use it on me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Yes, those 50 BMG’s are pricy to buy & pricy to shoot. From what I’ve seen so far military ammo currently ranges in price from about $1.60 to $2.50 per round. You don’t get much of a break by reloading either, a pound of powder is only good for about 29 rounds and Hornady 750 grain match bullets (for example) go for $1.50 to $2.00 apiece (just for the bullet itself!). However they are a lot of fun to shoot and it packs a tremendous wallop (over 13000 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle). Recoil is no where near what you’d expect (with a good muzzle brake) but you do need a good set of hearing protectors and yes it is heavy, mine probably weighs around 45 pounds with the bipod, monopod and scope…

 

MAN THATS HEAVY!!! the one im haveing built for me only weights 19 lbs....

 

a 19 lb 50 BMG is really going to kick your a$$... it's the weight of the others that make it tolorable to shoot... I wish I had a better back stop & a little more length ( only 300 yards ), on my shooting range... I'd definately have to have one ( I love shooting magnums )... can't really get much more "magnum" than that...LOL...
