Deer Rifle for Police Sniper

[Aim to maim]

At first, I was wondering why he couldn't take his issued rifle out in the woods, but seeing as it is a 50 BMG, I wouldn't take it either, the zeroing issue aside.

I hope everything works out for this guy.

What did the deer look like that he hit with the 50?

Quote from my opening post:
"It has not taken him long to realize that his department issue heavy-barrel Remington 700, while highly effective, is a bit cumbersome and heavy."

The reference to the hypothetical Barrett was intended to confirm that the officer is in good physical condition (see previous post by WyoShooter).

We'll have to wait for someone else to fill us in on terminal ballistics of the 50BMG on deer.

Sorry for any confusion.
