My wifes new elk gun!
« on: August 07, 2008, 09:57:30 PM »
I hope it's enough gun.



Just joking, it's not hers.

It's a custom built ASL .50 bmg single shot bolt action my hunting partner just had built. He topped it with 6.5-25 tactical Leupold. It weighs 38 lbs. and has the recoil of a .243. My 11 year old shot it. You just don't want to stand to the left or right of the gun, the muzzle break baffles moved grass 15 feet to each side of the gun. I have no idea what he plans to do with it, other than he wanted one. It's one bad-ass looking master blaster that's all I know!

Might be good for prairie dog shootin'! I doubt it at $5 a shot.

Awesome!

I know a place where that would be the ticket for shooting bull elk.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

A buddy of mine has one much like that with the Nightforce scope on it, not sure what he's gonna do with either, he just wanted one.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

That would be fun to shoot for sure.

Question for anyone... I keep seeing what look like Harris Bi-pods on these 50's.... Is this a heavier gauge Harris or what?

Can you hunt with that in Washington, I would love to shoot a deer or elk with it just to say I did. LOL :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

You can use it in Washington, but only on animals in Oregon, Idaho, or BC :chuckle:
