If they offered me the chance to shoot that rifle, I'd thank them kindly, explain I'd already had a shoulder surgery and didn't need another, and pass.
2400 grain bullet, over 240 grains of powder in a .905 caliber rifle. What the heck are you shooting? T-rex?

LOL.

Cultures throughout the world have their unique rites of passage to manhood.

Obviously, this tribe has chosen the "Rite of the Big Gun" as their ritual to initiate the tribe's boys into men.

Marine Boot Camp was mine...

I shot lots of Big Guns there.

After watching that I wondered why someone would want to even build something like that I guess. Its not for me but it was fun to watch. Al

My horse would tip over with that in the scabbard.

Back in the mid 80s, I was stationed in Hawaii with Search and Rescue. I was a member of the rod and gun club from the first week on base, and filled a number of slots in the three years there. Secretary, Conservation Chairman, Hunting Coordinator, Vice President. A great club. A member of the club, a custom gunsmith, held a patent on foam filled fiberglass stocks for high powered rifles. I carried one of his 30-06 bolt guns on a hunting trip once. It was so light that after checking the zero on the scope by firing the three rounds, I hoped I didn't get a shot.

Once we returned from the trip, I thanked my friend for the loan of the custom rifle, and went back to my old faithful at the time. A springfield 03 30-06...

Cheese and Crackers! There comes a point where bigger ain't better it's just bigger.
I've seen old punt guns even bigger, black powder shotguns for harvesting flocks of ducks or geese on a pond but they were lashed to a skiff.
The first shooter had it under control, everyone else just kind of coped. Nobody cried so they're all tough guys.

I couldn't afford the custom boolitts much less the gun. Or the corrective surgery it would take to get through sighting it in and shooting a few groups.
Thanks for the link, that was pretty far out.
