at $5.00 a shot and $3800 for the gun, not many gangbangers will want one. The recoil is fierce, and they are very heavy large rifles indeed. They are not easily concealed under your coat. Now, a .300 Weatherby magnum will do the same thing, and is much cheaper. Of course properly used, a .30-06 is all the gun you need for any job in North America including low flying 747's.... Get a life people....
