Met up with edgephoto this afternoon and we messed with the Serbu BFG50 for a bit. We found out that I have reached the limitations of the scope adjustment, as it has 50moa total (+/-25 from center) and the LaRue mount has a built in 30moa. The scope would hold adjustment for 2 shots and then move around, so the reticle was slammed like a screen door in a hurricane  time for a real scope with tons of adjustment. Right now has a Burris Fullfield ii which is rated for .50BMG
Man this makes some big holes in paper! Adjusted windage after shots 2 & 5 on this 100yd target, milsurp XM33 ball. 
Edge, thanks for the range time and I hope your shoulder is OK! |

My shoulder is fine. You only let me shoot one round....
What a cool rifle and it is LOUD. I had on 30db Peltor muffs and doubled up with ear plugs and it was pretty loud still. Quite the concussion when fired. When the 300 yard expansion is finished it will be more fun. |

Yeah, I'm glad I doubled up on ear protection, and the concussion rattles teeth, not to mention it launches caterpillars across the shooting port. |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's so cool. I'm jelly. How much did that thing cost? The price I paid wouldn't translate to market pricing as this was a transfer between family members. Here's retail on most of the stuff if you want to go the 50cal route Serbu BFG-50 Carbine $2395 Serbu Bipod $175 Pelican 1750 Case $225 LaRue mount $296 Burris 3-9x40 $239 (incompatible with mount) a few hundred rounds of milsurp ammo |
| Old.school McMillan M-87 bolt gun. Single shot. Leopold Ultra M1 20x fixed in Leopold rings. Scope is worth more than the rifle. Got a can because Metacon insists. I bought a lot of 1985 Winchester ball. Doesn't always go where you want it to but it's fun. A fraction of the price to shoot a .338LM or .408CT. |

Put a 50cal can of tannerite under the bowling pin and shoot that? Quoted:

I find it amazing how little damage it does to a freestanding bowling pin at 100 yards. Put a 50cal can of tannerite under the bowling pin and shoot that? I would love to do that! But more like 500 yards away |
