What are they doing? Long-range bear hunting? If a 7.62 NATO won't kill the target then the next step is 50 cal, not some crazy ass belted magnum.

Oh, do a bit of sniping, do we? Ever had to hump a .50 cal any distance? Im guessing...hmmm, not.
Those 'stupid euros' are actually British. And they make a weapon that is widely regarded in the Police and Mil markmanship communities as the rolls royce of bolt guns. It is being adopted as a standard platform in a LOT of countries, including the States.
The .338 LM round is being adopted more and more also, primarily because it has a very flat trajectory out to about 1000 metres and therefore is more predictable when making precision shots. Obviously, you would want to be a LOT closer than that, but its nice to know you have that capability if you need it.
We used to have a sign in our old unit meal room that said 'Engage brain before speaking'.
Can we get one for here?
