I must have misunderstood. Did you say the 50/58 barrel was (effectively) 1ΒΌ" (11/8) flat-to-flat?

If so, the 32" barrel alone weighs 63lbs?
Ok. Both my .50 & .58 cal barrels are 1&1/8 in. thick flat to flat on the Octagon. My .62 cal barrel is 1&3/8 in. thick flat to flat.

CVA .50 and .58 barrels are only 15/16's in. thick flat to flot.

My CVA's weigh about 8 lbs and my custom builds are between 9 and 15 lbs depending on barrel length. I have barrels ranging from 24-42 inches. Weight and recoil are not much of an issue for me since I'm 6'4" 280ish lbs and have been packing a .58 since I was 9 years old.

Are these bench guns you're referring to?
No. Oregon Barrel makes bench gun barrels that are 2.5-3.0 inches in dia. Their target barrels are round instead of octagon. Those barrels weigh a good two or three times what my barrels weigh.

I shot one of their two bores that weighed around 100 pounds. What a beast!
