Only in my dreams!, and I think it would be more of a "nightmare "thinking of spending that kind/amount of money on a gun.
A friend of mine had sent me a list of some guns like that at an auction sale, the staring bid for a "used one " was often more than $100,000.00.

You better believe it. Even at 3000 FPS it is a hell of a push. For hunting I don’t brake it but if I want small groups I do. With a 2750 FPS load if memory serves it has 70+ ft pounds of recoil.
Two don’t have brakes but don’t venture much past 2950 with those.the brakes one wore a FTR stock and single shot action for a while. Think it was 14 pound without glass.
Just too tough on me.
