Shouldn't something that big be towed by a support vehicle or mounted to the deck of a ship?

It is crew served! It's not bad if you can fashion some wheels for it and pull it behind your truck......

To put the frame size differences in perspective, the BFR on top is a .500 Smith & Wesson, while the revolver below is a BFR in .500 JRH.



The more I look at that picture the more I ask, WHY?

I can surely see how the weight will help with recoil, but holy.....

That thing is HUGE! And the X is even bigger!?!?!


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

New guy here and have always liked a scoped Red Hawk. But the new TC Contenders I've been getting may change my mind. Maybe both.


The adverb is the poor tool of a weak mind and I apologize for using so many here

I sold mine because that smoker would probably be easier to tote, at least I'd just have to hook it up to the old Cummins!

that's why you don't "stroke" it you "Ram" it.
