Never heard of this gun being made, but its producer is SSK industries.

It don't look like fun to me. It has a little more recoil than I'm comfortable with. I thought there were restrictions on caliber size. I thought the 50 cal was the largest caliber you could legally own. Dale

Dale, they got a special exemption for this caliber - how, I don't know.  Here's an article on the beast:

I wonder what the ballistics are like. If I were looking for a big heavy rifle like that, it would almost certainly be for extreme long range shooting, so I'd want a high ballistic coefficient and bullets well designed for that purpose. These bullets look relatively short, so I wonder how they travel over a distance of a mile or more. If I were interested in a rifle like that for breaking down trucks and other military equipment, I'd need that long range accuracy and a good tough bullet for that purpose.
 
Bottom line is that I don't understand this gun and until it becomes clearer it looks like it's just another one of those big-for-big-sake rounds.
 
Nothing wrong with that, and there's probably a bigger market for that than long range accuracy or equipment damage. Just nice to be clear about these things.
