The biggest bolt-action sniper rifle

Big-bore bolt-action rifles chambered in .50 BMG are among the largest rifles you can own. In this video, I test one of the biggest bolt-action rifles around. Watch to see it shoot.

What to know about a .50 BMG

  • Size and weight: these rifles are big and heavy.
  • Recoil and blast: serious hearing protection is a must. Try ShellShock electronic hearing protection.
  • Range requirements: use a range and backstop rated for the cartridge.

Gear

Compare scopes at OpticsPlanet, and get tools and cleaning supplies at Brownells.

Why Matt Hat Jerky Belongs in Your Pack This Season

Use code BULLETS4BUCKS at checkout for a discount

Buy Here: https://matthatjerky.com/?ref=eybyurrt

If you spend long days in the mountains like I do—whether you’re glassing for elk, roughing it in snow, or burning boot leather chasing mule deer—you know that good food can make or break a hunt. Too many snacks taste great for five minutes, then leave you feeling sluggish or hungry an hour later. That’s why I’m always looking for real, high-protein fuel made for hunters… not candy bars disguised as energy.

Recently I picked up Matt Hat Jerky, and let me just tell you—this is the kind of pack snack you save not because you have to, but because you want to. It’s tender, rich in flavor, and built around quality cuts of meat that actually fuel your body. No mystery texture. No weird aftertaste. Just hearty, savory jerky that tastes like it was made by someone who understands hunting, hard work, and long miles.

What Makes Matt Hat Jerky Worth It?

High protein for sustained energy on the mountain, at work, or during long drives.

Bold, clean flavor that doesn’t taste processed or artificially sweet.

Easy to pack—perfect for hunts, hikes, gym bags, or the everyday glove box stash.

Made for people who live the lifestyle, not just snack aisle browsers.

Whether you’re packing in deep or road-hunting with the heater on full blast, jerky is a staple for every hunter. Some brands feel like cardboard. This one doesn’t. It’s the kind of jerky you buy once and immediately order again.

Ready to Try It?

A wooden cutting board displaying pieces of jerky, surrounded by colorful vegetables and seasonings, including peppers, onions, salt, sugar, and a small bowl of dark sauce.

Head over to Matt Hat Jerky and use code: BULLETS4BUCKS at checkout for a discount.

Fuel your hunt. Fuel your day.
Because every good shot starts with good energy.

You Won’t Believe What Happened to My Rifle on the 2025 Mule Deer Hunt

Affiliate disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. As an affiliate, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

A Wyoming DIY deer hunt that went wrong

This 2025 Wyoming DIY deer hunt turned into one of the hardest hunts I have ever done. We faced deep snow, brutal hikes and freezing weather, and I even lost my rifle in the backcountry. This is the real story of pushing through one of the toughest deer hunts I have faced.

Lessons for a cold, backcountry hunt

  • Navigation: save your track and key points so you can retrace your route. The onX Hunt app lets you mark waypoints and see land boundaries.
  • Layering: deep snow and freezing weather demand good layers. See Pnuma Outdoors hunting apparel.
  • Glass the country: good binoculars save miles of walking. Compare options at OpticsPlanet.
  • Keep track of your gear: check your rifle and pack at every stop.

Gear

Find hunting ammo at Natchez and outdoor gear at Sportsman’s Warehouse. Check Wyoming licensing and regulations before you go.
