Extra large rifles - anybody own one?
vanity ^ | 02/04/08 | self

My first posting - think I've done everything right but if not, feel free to delete, move, whatever's appropriate.

Came across this site of a firm making 20mm rifles amongst others and found that here in the UK, they're still legal. OK,OK, it would entail me moving house because the ranges at which I could shoot one are 100miles+ away and I would have to spend a lot of my savings and I'm currently in between jobs, so not currently feasible. But the prospect of owning one did cross my mind...and they are tempting...

Anyone own one of these/similar? What are they like to own/shoot?

Considering the fact that it weighs over 100lbs unloaded, not bad.
