.700 Nitro Xpress

[SuperMario92]

I was thinking of getting one for home defense. Thoughts?

The one built by H&H in 1988? That goes for $100 per round. Not to mention the $75K-$150K price tag for the gun.

and what are you defending your home from ? Something very large I assume.

Money is not object, we are after all taking about my safety.

I wince at the thought of firing 12 ga slugs. Follow up shots are going to be tough.

I would get the tactical one with the pistol grip stock.

then how about a moat, a drawbridge, a few gators for the moat, and some tigers inside the perimeter just in case. Maybe a remote controlled sentry on the roof for when a group of ninjas come knocking. From a ballistic standpoint I dont see why, from a financial standpoint I dont see why.. so why would you want to other than you can? There are much better alternatives that allow you to shoot and get comfortable with the weapon without reconstructive surgery.

Why stop at a .700, just go ahead and get a 40mm howitzer if money isn't an object.

Are you sure that's going to be enough knockdown?

A pistol grip is a must on this gun and I don't want a 40mm, it might wake up my neighbors.
