I had bought the Remington .458 Win. Mag. in Los Angeles prior to my move to Alaska in anticipation of hunting brown bear. However, after a living for a few years in Alaska I decided that I had no interest in eating bear, and it was costing me ~$5/shot, so I sold the rifle.I don't think I could do 5 consecutive of .458.
We had an M82 for a while but decided it was overkill and went back to the M40 .308.
Yeah, I got a buddy with a desert eagle .50. He lets it sit on a shelf for the same reason.I had bought the Remington .458 Win.

Stop playing mod, wipe away your tears, and runnoftThis is supposed to be a gun control forum. The moderators allow off-topic threads ...
BullshitIt's worse than useless, it can get you killed.
Shit I bet you think a MARLIN 60 is also.It's a useless wall hanger.
?But it has a muzzle brake on it.
If you read or watched the video you would have seen the 277 lb felt recoil and that's with the brake displacing some of it.Are you SURE you know what you're talking about?
Of course it could if you just slapped it up and it fell on your head. But then I wouldn't hang it on the wall.It's worse than useless, it can get you killed.
You can tell some of them never fired a shot in their life. While maybe 1-2 had but weren't warned of a good recoil.T-rex is .577 and it knocks folks three feet backwards.
I've fired .50 BMGs not M2s but Barret's off hand (standing up) but the .95 SSK? **** that. Prone maybe.
Can't even guess what shooting .95 is gonna be like.
Nope, learned to shoot with one.Shit I bet you think a MARLIN 60 is also.
I guess anything he wanted to.
As long as he doesn't have to carry that monstrosity more than 50 feet to get to his blind.I guess anything he wanted to.
As long as he doesn't have to carry that monstrosity more than 50 feet to get to his blind.
Anything they wanted, past or present.
The Second Amendment acknowledges our right to "keep and bear arms," but in the case of this rifle you are stretching the limit of what an individual can "bear."As long as he doesn't have to carry that monstrosity more than 50 feet to get to his blind.
Apparently you survived.Nope, learned to shoot with one.
