if its legal and your into it and have the funds then more power to them, personally id love to own a 50 but probably never will due to price, and if I had one id definatly be interested in trying to hunt with it at least once just to say ive done it. And you may think theres no skill involved and its cheating but id like to see those complaining try to shoot something that kicks that hard and hit something the size of a paper plate at 700yds. I doubt most can do it. Plus id like to also see these people try and drag a 32LB(dont know about the one in the pictures but that seems to be the average 50cal. weight)rifle up a hill to even attempt shooting something.
