[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1566898, member: 99039"] I cannot imagine anyone carrying a 50 BMG hunting, those suckers weigh waht between 25 and 30lbs?? I have a .45-120 Sharps rifle, it has a 34 in heavy barrel the rifle weighs 15lbs. I carried it deer hunting, you walk 100yds and the rifle will begin to weigh you down, I did not rig up a sling, but just letting the barrel rest on your shoulder while walking would eat into you after a while. I finally got to shoot a nice 8 point buck at 100yds, it had a .45 caliber entrance hole and about a .470 in hole coming out, went through both shoulders no meat loss busted both lungs and he ran 50yds and dropped. After I finally got one with the rifle it went back to the safe and only used for target shooting. [/QUOTE]
