460SVR
Instead of a rifle, get a handgun. DUH.
It's a 500 S&W but it fires the round much faster.
I do want to get a rifle that hits harder than 5.56; maaaaaaaybe it has to do with the fact I just watched the first Tremor's movie, again, just a few minutes ago.
But I already have an AR-AK... I would probably get a 6.5 Creedmoor or .. I don't know. When you get to higher, more powerful calibers, you have to deal with a lot more PITA. Like, barrels only lasting so many rounds, rounds are heavy, rifle is heavy, lots of powder, etc. etc. I do want to get something that hits harder... something in between a 6.5 Creedmoor but definitely not as powerful as the .338 Lapua... I'd be ok with the .338 Lapua but I'd prefer something that didn't have a lot of caveats.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The shooter will always matter more than the gear ever will.
Stop relying on others to do the work for you.
Shoot more, worry less.

Re: unique gun suggestions
Funny you mention Tremors, I recently bought the "action pack" with all 6 movies; was 1st time I'd seen 5&6 I like the new graboids but not the new AB's :/
Back to reality - I have thought about the .460, there's just something about a .454 Casull being your 'mid range' round that brings a smile to my face However, unless there's a specific reason for it or another, I think my next handgun will be a Rhino.
I was also thinking of getting a long range gun but since my current skill level isn't pushing the limits of what I already have as yet, it's not a priority.
So, kinda want a big boomer & I like having multiple options for the same platform (AR-15).

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN fix stupid - it's just illegal.

You can shoot many rounds through the .460.. including ones that might surprise you
OO I would always want a Rhino/Mateba.

Re: unique gun suggestions
Turns out, I didn't come up with a good reason but that didn't stop me. All 3 use the same lower - for now.
5.56, 6.5 Grendel, .50 Beowulf
And the ammo (5.7x28 for scale):

Re: unique gun suggestions
How about a .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer? It was an attempt to push a 50gr bullet faster than 5000fps but it only went ~4600fps.
