.50 Beowulf SBR with his Best Friends

[zfields]

no it doesnt compare really to the 45/70 govt load....for close quarter encounters with dangerous game..The 50beo would be ideal..due to its bullet weight energy and velocity...but for longer distances something like a 300winmag or heavy grain 30-06 or 7mm ultra mag would be better for longer distances..here is another video of the 50beo taking a black bear in one shot..

Hrm, after looking at bullet weight and velocities, along with a few other people discussing it it seemed to be a bit weaker then the modern loadings for modern lever guns. Not saying that being semi auto wouldn't be nice by any means.

i dont know if they make a beowulf in lever gun action..maybe puma rifles might..i havent checked..i know that they are owned by legacy sports..they usually make exotic caliber lever actions..like 480 ruger and 454casull ..i know that the the brass spitzers that i have for the 50 beo is loaded at 350gr and holding velocities at 2100fps and about 3000lbs of energy at the muzzle through a 16" barrel.. in my gun you will loose about 100fps ..if you use a hollow point.. on impact the bullet expands over an inch..That could of been one of the reasons they dropped that bear in one shot without any further movement..

Nice! What optic is that?

[jeanclaudesegal]

hi thanx for looking it is a 4x32 prismatic scope made by fm optics..pretty decent quality that holds up very well to recoil of the beowulf

Nice!

I have a .50 Beowulf AR pistol that is pretty fun. Can't SBR it here though.

For anyone living in the Houston TX area..i found a custom shop that will work on large bore ar15s that actually know what they are doing.. http://ashleyfirearms.com/ ..check them out if you need help with your 50 beowulf

No class 3 weapons for us mortals other than AOW. But luckly ones have registered assualt weapons.

Not quite. We are allowed SBRs and SBS as long as they are C&R or modern SBRs with a Dangerous Weapons Permit, if you are lucky enough to be a 02/FFL07 manufacturer or if you provide guns to the movie studios/television.

How difficult is it to get a Dangerous Weapons Permit?

[MrPlink]

It is nigh impossible. Pretty much, if you have to ask you ain't getting one.
