Imagine the scope you would need to even see what you are shooting at that range

The 14.9 SOP is being billed as artillery when you can't call in for artillery, as air support when there is none. However, the developers have gotten the ATF's blessing to build these with a "Sporting Purposes" exemption, so while the 14.9 SOP has a military pedigree, it is possible that the target market will be people with too much money and not enough noise in their life.
i need more noise in my life

Only problem is you will need a class 3 license for it as it is 58cal. I can think of alot of other "toys" that require a class 3 that would be alot more fun....
