Yep. I think I priced one for my rifle at about $600. Bushmaster also makes a .450 and .50 (pistol) rifle/upper.

I personally like the .450. It was made specifically for use against big (think Africa) game animals.

Last October a group of deer hunters on a dog drive killed two 500 plus pound wild boars 4 miles from my house. I seriously doubt .223 would drop one of those.

No, but a 308 would have.

Thats too much recoil for too little power. If I'm gonna have recoil I'm going all out. Bring on the semi-auto .300 Ultra Mag!

Yeah, because just 1 kill shot isn't enough...is it?

Multiple targets. One must be prepared for any possible situation. Like being attacked by a pack of hoboes.

Sometimes I feel like shooting to wound. Over and over again.

Maiming isn't much fun....you shouldn't shoot in anger. There should be nothing but cold resolve when you pull that trigger.

A while ago I met a guy who served as a sniper in Iraq. This man preferred to carry a .50, because "shooting through walls kicks ass". Anyway, since its considered a war crime to specifically target people with that rifle, the Army will only use it against war material. This includes weapons, ammo, radios, things of that nature. And should enemy personnel happen to be carrying said war material, they were simply in the line of fire.

Yeah, technically it's a war crime to target an individual with a 105mm gun....but I have video from an AC-130 of them using it on someone. Then again, they were "targetting" the hills he was running into. They thought there might be ammunition stashed in them...

There was ammo stashed there. The dude had the ammo hidden in his pockets...

Ever watch that show Shootout on the History Channel? The last one I saw was from a brief firefight in Afghanistan. 1 marine guide went out in a civi truck with some "contractors" at night. And it seems the Taliban are just awful at recon, because when they opened fire on that truck they failed to notice the two humvees less than 400 yards away. The marines do love their .50 MG's.

I haven't seen that one yet.

Found some nice footage of a Specter stalking Taliban in Afghanistan though.
