To each their own!

Looks like it's set up so it can be fired from the hip.

Id shoot it. All the bmgs ive shot kicked like a hard kicking shotgun

WAIT a minute, isn’t that a “pistol caliber carbine” ? What kind of stock is it? Surely not an evil “brace”….
Some will see it that way…

 

[Tommie]

No thank you

 

[john 800]

No F-ING way!!!!!
Im not telling anyone else they shouldn’t shoot it, matter of fact I”ll might even watch, possibly with popcorn. I have shot a few 50s and they were not bad, but all of them were much heavier than that.

Can't be worse than the 22lb Four-bore double I shot that belonged to Ken Green. It was one of four that Ken Owens of Memphis built about thirty years ago. Still hurts when I think about it...

Back in the 70's I once shot, just one shot, a 458 Winchester Magnum with a 500 grain bullet factory load. The rifle belonged to one of my best friends, who was a young PA State Trooper. He had seen the Clint Eastwood move, "Dirty Harry" and just had to have one. It took some effort to acquire it, finally he got one through Firearms Unlimited in Pittsburgh. Their motto was "toys for men".

This rifle / cartridge was anything but a toy. I was young, dumb (and you know the rest as the saying goes). The cartridge knocked the snot out of me. I was lucky it didn't have a scope because for use I would have a permanent "magnum eyebrow". 

Different strokes for different folks as the rock group, Sly and the Family Stone, a group for the 70's, once said.

I'm guessing the muzzle blast/flash is "spectacular".

Back in the 70's I once shot, just one shot, a 458 Winchester Magnum with a 500 grain bullet factory load.

Most I've done is: a traditional 10ga double-hammer shotgun, as a 7yr old kid. Can't imagine the gun weighed more than ten pounds.

Of course, if .458 Win Mag is your thing, looks like Ruger made the No. 1 in that caliber. All 9lbs 9oz of it. Ooof.

I had 2 friends both double my 500 Nitro Express double rifle because they didn’t want to learn how to handle the recoil with one round in the chamber first with a double trigger rifle.

Even more brake please.

I think you're turned around a bit.
The whole point of the recent unpleasantness is not recognizing a difference between stocks and braces.
There is no scenario, past or proposed, where a stock is ok but a brace is bad.

Not my thing at all - one shot of my friend's rifle and that was it for me! Brutal to say the least.

 

[nmkid]

Id shoot it. All the bmgs ive shot kicked like a hard kicking shotgun

I wonder if it kicks like my WIN 101 12 gauge shotgun?

 

[WAMBO]

I'd shoot it at least once, can't be much worse than the 25 rds I shot in a match with a McMillan Tac 50.

Man my 101 made by kodensha is smooth as butter
