It's one of my favorites. Recoil isnt as bad as some make it out to be. A 500 gr Hornady XTP is just about 1200fps in a 12" setup. It'll be closer to 1000 in my 10.5" setup. I'm debating on getting a Bowers Vers 50 can for it later on. I'm hoping to get to try it out suppressed with that particular can before I pull the trigger on one.10.5" .50 Beowulf !? That's HOSS. Looking forward to seeing the build when you're done!
