i've honestly been considering it but there's nowhere around here i could really air it out and see how bad a shot i really am at 1000 feet, and the hunting season for helicopters and velociraptors is pretty short here. i'm not exactly a regular hunter or even a huge gun-guy but i've been to africa twice and fished in places with alaskan browns and want to make it back to the former place and have been looking at doubles that cost almost that much. i've got the cheapo cz .375 H&H that's the smallest thing you can get into tanz/zim with legally but want something shorter in a 416 rigby or above as a stopper. i just actually saw a .700 nitro express that was based around a BMG frame, i've always wondered what a barrett would do in africa, i'd kinda assume it would be about three times bigger and heavier than useful for the bush and totally unsporting in the open. on the other hand, the locals kill elephants firing-squad-style with a few dudes just unloading 7.62s on full auto until they empty their ak-47. if i got the barrett, i've gotta admit the first thing i'd do is lend it to kyoto-it's what every responsible gun owner does.
