First time I have seen this...

Might be handy to carry in bear country, if you can hit with it. Matches or exeeds the S&W 500 balistics, but in a semi auto.

Also saw a BFR chambered in this on gunblast.

How bout that for a companion gun set...

AR15 rifle shooting 400grn slugs at 1900fps with a 12 round mag, and a revolver on your hip that shoots the same ammo!

Seems kinda cool. Pretty cheap too. May just have to pick up a Beowulf upper for my ar...

A buddy of mine took an AR chambered in 50 Beowulf on one of our boar hunts. Knocked the snot outta the pig. Nice setup for sure. Havent seen the pistol yet.

Seems pretty impressive. I've seen the uppers for like $650.

The 50 Beowulf and the 500 Smith mimmic each other ballistically. The 50 Beowulf may appear to have a slight edge, but that comes from the closed breech and longer barrels. In similar actions and barrel lengths there's not 2 cents worth of difference. This would make an excellent AR style pistol for about everything that walks. GET ONE!
