.577 Trex on Gunbroker

[Sted-E Ed-E]

Don't know anything about the rifle or round but for $17K+ I'd prefer it to not have any scratched on the barrel, stock and trigger guard. I mean, how much does one shoot that rifle to actually get that buggered up?

Look up a video of this round being fired and you’ll understand. It gets dropped almost every time. I think it was designed to take satellites out of orbit!

Wow. That is one heck of a round. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable it would be to shoot this thing…

Here's that Arab fella that owns Accurate Reloading.com suckering a few of his buddies into shooting it........they don't appear to be enjoying the ride.

I might be crazy but it looks like it may be the exact same rifle that sold at RIA??

Since it's bigger than 50 cal what exempts it from being a DD ? Blackpowder ? Or do you have to go thru the whole transfer process?

I would bet that it has a "sporting exception" applied to it.

Ever notice the 7th guy is shooting a Ruger No 1?

I wonder what caliber it is.

Probably not that much. It likely gets dropped about every 3rd time the trigger is pulled.

I don't think it's too awful bad. Kentucky Ballistics shoots one on a fairly regular basis. If course, all that youtube money he gets from shooting it probably softens the blow a bit.
