Duh only the biggest gun I have ever shot my friends .458 winchester MAGNUM It HURTS :what:. He told me to lean forward and hold on as tight as possible and it still knocked my ear protection off and the gun almost flew out of my hands. I would seriously hate to be one the other end of one of those things.:D
 
to be honest...

Someone sent it to me in an email and I thought it was cute. It is not my photo.

Of course, the Squirrels in Montana are really that big.
 
min 7mm mag, but I'd prefer a 338 mag -- but remember that shot placement is key -- if you do your part the gun will its part :D
 
The hunter on the left appears to have an AK variant of one sort of another, so maybe 7.62. But it they are really "big" the .50 bmg or .577 t-rex.
 
If you're a dead eye the 7mm Mag, is the way to go, but you got to get 100% head shots.

If you miss your back up man should carry no less than 577 Tyrannasour with 750 gr Monolithic solids behind 177.5 gr.s RE19, plus just pray he can keep his cool,and finish it of with a good brain shot:eek:
 
You better shoot straight when you're attacked by one of those squirrels, they're worse than a pit bull.

A pit bull goes for the throat, and these squirrels . . .:neener:
 
I have a Winchester .458 Magnum I used to plink with at the pond. But after 10 rounds, I'd have to stop and reload the empty cartridges again. It wasn't punishing as it had a push instead of a whack. I'm 5' 10" at 160 pounds.
