[QUOTE]Originally posted by Todd E: Hi Todd, You've got good lusts there buddy.A 577 Nitro Express would be a wonderful thing. I have a 500 A-Square that gets shot fairly regularly.
Have owned 3 BMG's however currently own 1, but that will change soon ;-) (more, not less), .500 A-Square at the smiths, .577 Snider from 1872, .50 AE in AR carbine fashon (I know it's only .500), and looking at a .600NE on a BMG reciever for $1,500 (Sorry guys, it's mine soon so no hints).
500 A-Square on a Ruger No. 1 with .588" total throat for Milsurp and target bullets... (JGS 500 A2 reamer with throat extended with Dave Manson throating reamer.)
510 JAB (.510/460 Weatherby Improved Jenkins and Berry) on a BRNO ZKK 602... (500 A2 with 30 degree shoulder and only 0.300" freebore, reamer by Dave Manson. The standard 500 A2 has a 35 degree shoulder and 0.400" free bore.)
50 BMG, AR 50. Traded in the Barrett on a double rifle. The AR 50 was more accurate than the Barrett, in my case.

Yea, what about that DB Bill's quad 50 question? How about 50 cal browning and 105 howitzer? They really do make a hellofva bang too! Not all of us got to shoot them fancy guns!

Had a custom .50 BMG that I had built in a lightweight bull-pup configuration. it weighed just under 17 pounds. Recoil was a bit fierce. I now lust after a .505 Gibbs.

With regard to DB's question my vote would be that the .505+ rifle would have to be shoulder held. I am only one of many here in the .505+ club so we will have to see what the others have to say as well.
I used to own a 50 BMG to. They can be great fun, but I feel they are a little awkward for hunting.
Paul H Forum Leader Posts: 1244 From: Alaska Registered: Feb 2001 Kenai Capt, Is that one of the Ruger M77 Bowen conversions that Great Northern Guns had done? How do you like the gun?
Paul, Yes it's one of the 5 from GNG, but Bowen didn't do them.Cliff LaBounty did the rebore ,but a local smith rechambered and assembled them, not sure who. I like it fine so far, have not been able to get out shooting much, but what I've done has been a a hoot. Still need to get it bedded and the magazine box is a hair too short so need to address that as well. Sorry about the weird reply , I can't figure out how to do the quote thing, Regards Ron
