Nice. Looks like a productive way to celebrate our Freedom - and give anyone who's thinking about trying to take it second thoughts.

It's my brother's M700 hunting rifle. The one in the picture above is also a left handed M700. Both he built using McMillan stocks and Shilen barrels. His hunting rifle sports Trijicon glass while his sniper rifle has a Nightforce.

I'll cop to ignorance...what caliber / make are those rounds?

I'll cop to ignorance...what caliber / make are those rounds?

.50 BMG ( Browning Machine Gun ) would be my guess.

I'd have to either go pull out my scale and weigh one, or look it up, to tell you what a "factory weight" is, but i can't think of another round that would use a bullet that heavy.
