Hunting and target shooting are what I use mine for... But, if someone busts into my house, I will discourage them with the Winchester.Jonluw said:Just curious; what do you need/use the gun for?Corum1134 said:I was reading through a reloading magazine and a thought struck me. What kind of firepower does the Escapist pack?
It isn't my only gun but it is my biggest. It's my Noreen .50BMG single shot rifle with a x22 scope. This isn't a pic of it, but it is the same model.![]()
Is it only for fun?

Depends on what you're hunting, and the ranges of the shots you have to take. People use them for elk in the western US (the Rocky Mountains), and I don't think i would feel comfortable hunting grizzly bears with anything smaller.Jonluw said:But surely a .50 caliber is no good for hunting?Malyc said:Hunting and target shooting are what I use mine for...

Huh, I imagined a .50 bullet would completely ruin the meat.Malyc said:Depends on what you're hunting, and the ranges of the shots you have to take.

It works in RDR.Jonluw said:Huh, I imagined a .50 bullet would completely ruin the meat.
And shouldn't you be able to take out bears with regular hunting rifles?
