I dont really have a big arsanal of rifles but mine does include a .50bmg I wish all of you could experence shooting it. At 32lbs it's not that bad of recoil. No I dont run 100's rounds a year through it , maybe100 or so just enough to keep me in practice. I would never shoot a animal with it. Not what I got it for, it is only for my range. I love shooting long range and it is very hard trying to hit a 12in circle at 1000 yards with some kind of grouping. I should be shooting it alot more but just dont have the time. I read the artical and it is impressive what they are doing from the stand point , they are carring a 30lb rifle every where they go. That cant be fun. I know from my army years.
I think they could have as much fun shooting at the range. I know I do, my hunting buddies always want to see me shoot it ,but wont do it there selves. All I have to say is live a little go shoot one.
