Actually that caliber is useless. A 458. win mag is more than adequate and is much easier to shoot.

Ben I hate to disagree, I own a 50 from the McMillin Brothers. It's a real screamer when shooting praire dogs, coyotes and anything for that matter. I first fell in love with the 50 when I was at Raton New Mexico watching 2500 yard match. these boys had to hit a 30"x30" target. and they did. So by the next spring I had a 50. After have the night force scope worked over shooting out to 1000-1500 be came short order.
But where the gun shined was long range elk and deer. My friend and I dropped several elk well past 700 yards and 2 deer in the 1200-1500 yards. Many song dogs fell to the rig also. But you guys are in luck since selling my second home in New Mexico you can own a 50bmg, and all it fixens. Brass, loading dies and press, night force scope worked 28x60 with duplex cross hairs. 2 Barrels one shot 300x's the other never fired with muzzle brake and a military snipers bi-pod.
I had this fitted with a 39" barrels.There's a few more goodies to go along, Like a pelican custome case. Let me know if you need a price quote. Plus I will be more than happy to give any a reciept for $300. dollars for the wife.Here a pic of her in the works.

in answer to the original question. the obvious answer is stihl. just looking at my 036 brings out a feelin o admiration.
wait a minut. rite tare beside it is my 372. pp husky. its the purtiest saw i got and by far the fastest.
but wait a minut ... oh heck rite tare beside it is my old 028,, u cant break that sucker.
on second thot,, i ll jes have to get back wi u on it,hell, we s done started talkin about guns,, any way.

IMO Stihls are great quality wise(maybe the best), but they are lacking in that all of their pro saws are old designs. As a result things like the AV sytem, filtration sytem, ergonomics and power delivery are not up to the standards of Dolmar and Husky. There is also the issue of Stihl's being overpriced in many areas(not in mine) and not being able to buy one mailorder or online. Another thing about stihl is that many of their dealers( a lawn & garden shop and motorcycle dealer in my area) do not catter to the pro market and as a result tend to be cluless. For many of these places saws are an after thought and its quit apparent when you talk to them.

Hey fellows, long time no talk. I have been busy in the Police Academy lately for I am now a cop. But back to the issue at hand. As far as saws go I think Stihl is the best way to go they are a real good saw. As far as guns go my father-in-law and I own a gun shop, Glock is the best combat pistol on the market with the 1911 right beside it. And my choice for a rifle AR-15 is great and a Remington PSS .308 Model 700 is the tops for accuracy and durability, ask any Swat sniper.

Dang AJ, You sure are willing to throw out your opinions as facts! Glock has a really fine design. I respect the engineering but I dislike the pistol for my own use. I don't like the squishy , torquey feel in recoil. The 1911 is a fine design even if it is over 90 years old but.... Realistically, "best " in firearms is too subjective to simply make authoritative statements. Remington makes fine rifles-including the one they market to police snipers but MOST ACCURATE??? . Sheesh, anyone who has shot much knows that, while some models ARE inherently accurate, in any shootout for accuracy it will come down to individual rifles and their compatiblity with the ammo used.

Hey AJ,
I think you better go back to school and learn what real snipers use M40A1 is the choice rifle. The Pss was built in the 80's and 90's most snipers use the 700P.
The times have changed and so has the caliber 308 Lapua is choice and any one who understands ballistics will know that the velocity of the 308 Lapua creates an astonishing ballistic coefficient. I have shot long range praire dogs and big game for some years now and have owned all the big screamers. Warbirds, beanfields, poachers pet, and to top it all off the 416 Rigby necked down to 7MM.
Maybe in a hotdog town do they use a PSS but in the real world it's all McMillans and HS persision. Now that Dakota and Nesika arms have merged since the untimely death of Don Allen there is a new player in town. Here is a shot of a mcmillain.
Any hand gun is good in the right hands, but cops like there high capacity pistols since most can't shoot.
Now as for chainsaws I enjoy a nice husky.

Aw heck, i'll jump in.
The Sig Sauer 226 is far superior to any other pistol. period.
This gun beat everybody in the military trials, Beretta comprimised quality and agreed to build in USA (Oxon Hill MD) and also agreed to discount parts. I knew a guy from Oxon Hill
And he told some interesting stories about "Quality Control".
I have run extremely punishing handloads thru my Sigs that jammed every other 9 that tried, and it happily devoured them.
Accuracy is best determined by the shooter, not the weapon.
Oh yeah, chainsaw.

Marky Mark,
I am surprised there is no NJ state restriction against .50 BMG's.
If there isn't presently, I guess it's only a matter of time.
Oh yeah....chainsaws. Ran my new 200T all day long today. Great saw.

sniper rifle
When I was in the Army the snipers in our scout platoon used the Remington 700s in 7.62/.308. Nice simple rifles.
As far as chainsaws go I prefer the Huskys hands down, they feel way smoother in the hands. As bwalker has stated many times the Stihl's are outdated, they feel boxy, not slim and balanced like the husky's. When I fall with the Stihl saws I am comfortable with them and they do a great job but if I switch over and use my Husky it just feels better, more modern if you will.

Ah, the ballistic coefficient - gotta put my two cents worth in... The BC has nothing to do with velocity. That said, however, a bullet with a high BC + very high velocity frequently does equal extreme accuracy!
The Ballistic coefficient is the ratio of a bullet's sectional density to its coefficient of form. BC is essentially a measure of air drag, or how 'streamlined' a bullet is. It helps to have a quantifiable number assigned to how 'slippery' a bullet is to assist in component selection.
A long, skinny bullets (due to higher sectional density) tend to perform better than short, squat bullets (DUH!). That's why hollow points and boattail forms tend to be more accurate - with either of the features, to achieve a given weight, the mass of the bullet must be 'stretched' over a larger area than a 'conventional' bullet design.
OK - that was fun. I like the 372XP that Danny Henry sold me. I want a PP346XP to go with it!
Fellas, on a side note here - I've learned a lot about sawin' on this board and I sure do appreciate all of the knowledgable posts. I get a big kick out of all the BS bantering on this board as well.... you folks would be some good beer swillin' buds, I do believe!
Later y'all,
