Shame California banned the .50. Parts of the Mojave simply ache for 2000-yard shenanigans.
I briefly owned a .416 Barrett, but had to sell it when my domestic situation sprung a seam.

Gotta take issue with a statement on the first page of this thread..."guns are fun"
How are guns "fun"? They are made for killing. Personally I have no reason to own one. If I felt I needed one for protection, I'd have one grudgingly, and if someone feels they need one for protection, I have no issue with that.
But I think just owning a gun opens up the possibility of something bad happening. I live in a good neighborhood, don't associate with people who own or carry guns, and I don't hunt. If I were to get robbed someplace at gunpoint, I'd probably rather just hand over cash than get in a shootout. It would end badly likely for both of us. Just ain't worth it IMO

The thing that is fun is shooting. For me that means paper target or plinking. Tagging a full Pepsi can at 200 yards with a small fast rifle bullet (personal fave: a 50-grain varmint pill from a .223 Ackley) is just plain cool.
Most dedicated target guns are not so suitable for defense/quasimilitary applications or hunting larger game. cn

Gotta agree with you buddy. Ain't nothing quite like dancing a soda can with your weapon of choice. Clay shooting is a fun SPORT too. The shooting feat than is most impressive and challenging to most, including myself, is long and i mean LONG range shooting.
Then throw in a couple buddies competing to make the same shot and a few friendly wagers.
Shooting is DEFINITELY fun imo.

I will third this statement. All the guns I own were bought for the sole purpose of target shooting. If I happen to need it at home then its there
otherwise its just fun for me. I do enjoy hunting tho so I've got one that was bought with that in mind but I still do more target shooting with it than hunting.

That's one of the great things about guns. They are multi-use tools. Recreation, defense, investment (they hold their value well), etc.I will third this statement. All the guns I own were bought for the sole purpose of target shooting. If I happen to need it at home then its there

ALWAYS wear good hearing protection. i have 30% left and 50% right hearing loss likely due to many years of shooting unprotected.

I knew somebody like this was gonna come in here at some point.
Obijohn, guns are fun. They are fun to shoot, they are fun to look at, they are fun to buy and trade, they are fun to learn about. I think everyone shud own a gun, shit is only getting worse as time goes on and eventually ppl are gonna start getting pretty desperate. Also, guns are always a good investment because they rarely decrease in value. You live in a "good" neighborhood? That just means there is probably some good shit in some of those houses and maybe somebody is gonna wanna take that shit.
You really dont see the use for guns? Look at the Colorado Batman shooting. If someone would have happened to have been carrying in that theater, a lot of lives could have been saved. In ANY situation like that where the bad guy is in control because he has a gun, a carrying civilian cud easily save some lives.
