Holy crap, look at the size of the bolt on this thing... Anyone know what caliber this is? Looks like it would be a world of hurt on both ends!

Kinda like a new version of the Lahiti?... ( I'm sure I didn't spell that right, but not really concerned.) Does the new one come with reindeer and ski's?...SmokeRolls

Good info Sobrbiker!. For 36K and weighs 55lbs and only capable of reaching out to 1500 - 2000 yards? Hell, I'll stick with my 338 LM. BTW, if you want to get out and put some trigger time with the AIAWSM 338 LM, let me know.

Close, Lahti. And I think it's a lightweight version more akin to a Solothurn. The Lahti was 100lb+ rifle, I think the Solothurn was about 50lb.
I'd do very shameful things for either of them and a couple crates of HE ammo...

Re: What rifle is this?
Kinda makes the 50 cal seem like a 223? Hahaha. Anybody have experience with that big russian round that is supposed to smoke the 50 BMG? I've seen it in an article but have no experience with it...Not many Russian military snipers / anti armor guys in the hills of Kentucky......It may even the odds in the Hatfield / McCoy feuds though.....Hahaha..SmokeRolls
