[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 130515, member: 1563"] Wild Bill A 50cal BMG round needs a bolt body dia of at least .900" (rem 700 style action) and a full bolt style action needs a 1.250" dia. bolt body. The reciever needs to be at least 1.900" dia... length can vary greatly, you can make the action 12" long and have it eject loaded ammo, or make it 5" and have the Bull Pup style. Everything related to BMG is heavy. The 50-408 that Kirby is working on will present a rifle that can be easily carried for hunting. I would think in a 12-14# rifle there is going to be a "bit o' thunder" when its touched off. The 408C-T case is amazing as to what can be built from it. Dave [/QUOTE]
