I’ll have a search for it and see how much to goes for, I’d love to get it and shoot it again.
we used a SIGP229 and I have that but this rifle would be the jewel

I’ve always wanted a big bore rifle, would love to have a 50BMG. But it is only useful for other than hunting.
My father still has a Winchester .348, but no one likes to shoot it. Loaded heavy it has too much recoil, and brass is a problem.
Have thought about one of the big bore Ruger model 1’s as an option.
Don’t have the money anyway, so that will have to wait.

shooting handguns is one thing, shooting auto is one thing but I love shooting a sniper rifle and seeing if I can get that target over a mile away.
just had a quick look on the internet and now seen anything yet.
what would you say they would go for ?

I calculate three times the speed of sound as 3,350 fps which surprised me. I would have guessed it to be much higher. Three times the speed of sound sounds a lot more impressive to me than 3350 fps.

If you like long distance shots, rent the movie “Shooter.”

Yeah, three seconds flying time. Imagine what you could be doing in three seconds: flipping a pancake, scratching an itch, putting on a hat, picking your.....BLAM!
I wonder what arc this projectile had to travel- was it on a Hail Mary path? Man, that's some good shooting.

I have no clue about price. Since they are made in England they may not export them. Citizens there are not allowed to own such things, sad.
I’ll bet you could get one built easy enough, but not sure what type of action you would want if you started from scratch.
Have read that Lilja makes some fine barrels for the purpose. They even make 50BMG barrels.
