His username on that site is "Starvin." Anyone who would spend that type of money on a rifle and is starving has a serious problem.

What, you've never heard of the term, "gun poor"?

I think the new world record was set by a Canadian trooper shooting a hand built McMillan .50 BMG. But I could be wrong. Interesting that in any case, it took some pretty sophisticated weaponry and optics to beat Gunny Hathcock's record set by TIG welding an Unertl scope to the side of a Ma Deuce. He didn't have any match grade .50 BMG ammo then - made do with good old ball ammo.

At that price, I could buy a bunch of Ma Deuces, a bunch of Unertl scopes, and TIG weld a bunch of "Hatchcock wannabee weapons" together.

Nothing against the AI, it's a good piece of gear. I just have an affinity for the old Ma Deuce.
