I like odd firearms too but why?

Nothing in that link piqued my interest.

Well if you got a dump trunk load of money to pay for the ammo it might be fun.

Otherwise it's just another answer to a question no one asked.

Spending $2,000 to shoot a round that costs $3.00 per shot in a rifle that you can't find parts for at your local gunsmith....no thanks.

Agreed, I already have an AR50 at a $2k base price and $3 per round cost. I think throwing 650gr of screw-u down range or watching an APIT strike is much more fun in that price-range.

I guess there is nothing good to say about that rifle other than it's a pistol caliber.

The only way to shoot this economically is to reload for it. This would be a great in town weapon.

 

[QuietM4]

What town?

 

[YNOTAZ]

I would take my 458 SOCOM over that thing any day and have enough cash left over for almost a 1,000 rounds of factory ammo.

Any town

And you do this based on what experience, with either weapon, or anything else for that matter?

Ranger1 gets banned, creates new screen name. Ranger1=HDS

Interesting concept. Though it kind of answers a question that wasn't asked and I don't see it doing anything "better" then what is already out there.

Yup. Reload ,458 is a proprietary case. If they are available they are not cheap. 500 s&w is not under contract with the military. They are easier to get. But hey im.sure the 3 stooges will chim in soon just to argue.

HDS (Ranger1), come on. pay $2k plus for a huge A$$ AR10 and I can get the same ballistics out of a 10.5" barrel 458 that weighs 3 pounds less and is maneuverable?

That thing isn't a sniper weapon, it's not a close quarter weapon, it's damn heavy, ammo is expensive, it has no benefit over a 458, and you can't comment on how well it runs, if t all.

listen to all the Internet crap you want but this real vs advertised, and current, information is accurate. Delat6 is my witness to the testing. Along with others

 

[HDS]

I should have been more clear. I would not buy one done, i would build mine. I have $550 in each one of my 50AE ar"s. I would probably have around 765 in the AR10 build 500s&w. Just guessing might be a little less. By the way that's your opinion. Too heavy ? Maybe you need to go and workout a little. It's not a sniper rifle, you are right. It's a in town weapon. 100 yards or less. That's all I push my 50 AE. The last time I checked 458 socom brass was getting pieced out to the public because of military contracts. 500 s&w has no military contracts. So I can buy all I want. Hell I bought 3 5 gallon buckets of 50 AE brass for 6 cents each. That's cheap. Having someone that i don't believe in at all like Delta6 witness it, is like saying my 95 year old grandmother says her cooking is better than her daughters cooking. Is subjective.

 

[YNOTAZ]

So, you're OP was something with absolutely no meaning and no comment.

You're now attempting to justify, under another pseudonym, with assumptions that nobody else can reload, and you still have no reasoning behind your justification. Yet you are showing an alternative that you say you built in 50AE challenges the weapon's efficacy and the reason for its existence.

Do I have all of this correct?

 

[Crippledtrigger]

It might take him longer to completely slip up since hes only running one troll account not 5 or 6 and cant keep the lies straight. Still he seems to have it of the same stuff as ranger did and likes to brag so it wont take long.

 

[HDS]

Brag. Your telling me. You don't think it would be a good sniper's weapon? So now you are putting a certain distance to what makes a sniper. I wouldn't say those things to your average swat teams. Most in town hits are very close. Not like field hits. Let's say that weapon on a tripod in a back.in a room looking down on a bad guy 75 meters away. You guys crack me up. A bunch of know nothings
