Barrett M99 50bmg
My buddy kept having problems with killing scopes, found out the cheap rings he was using would come loose and hammer the scope to death.
So he brought it over on evening and i put Badger rings and a Nightforce scope on it and sighted it in. Been about 200rds now and holds zero, told him good rings and a scope make all the difference.

I rented a .357 2 1/2" barrel & my bro rented a .44 Mag revolver. I think the .44 had a 4" barrel. Those were pretty beastly, but my .357 is calm compared to the 2 1/2" vers. I rented. Decided afterward 4" should be about right, 2 1/2" takes away the fun of multiple rounds cause of the kick. I've never shot a rifle over .22. Shotgun, 12 ga. Nice holes it makes.
Does a SMAW D count? Ive shoot everything from a .50 cal to a Javelin. The SMAW D is still my favorite. We used them to breech walls in OIF 1.
Edit: I think I have some videos somewhere...
Here is the newer version of what we had in OIF 1

That's SMAW is impressive.
Mangled03gmc, I've never heard of a 505 gibbs or the weatherby 30-378 Cody mentioned. But that doesn't mean anything. I think I'd rather not shoot that old school double barrel 10ga Cody mentioned either. Or David. I was wondering if a 10 ga. would be on this list.
StrokerAce03, what's a Bfg 9000?
TX Tahoe, a propane tank about 700 yards away ...
Propane tank, really? Got any vid of that?

IDK why, but I'd like to shoot 1 of them S&W .460 or their .500. 
Maybe a .454 or .50 handgun.
Just to try em, cause I'd rather just shoot my .45s or .357. Which, I do need to get to the range, it's been a long time. I like smooth not unruly. And the ammo is cheaper too.

It looks like it was about 500 yards, not 700. We were hoping for a big fireball explosion, but I think that might have been bad as there was some dry grass around.
