I do believe there is a current bolt action available that uses the 50

imagine how that thing must kick?

Barrett is the name in .50 Caliber bolt actions. The 50 is a supreme
long range caliber, with knock-down power out far past its MER.

I've never seen or heard of anyone firing this in any other position
than prone, with a bi or tripod and recoil pad.


Yup, that's the one. I'd like to have one of those too. don't know
what I'd do with it other than hang it over the mantel and going back
to cooking my own meals doesn't sound all that great.
