Get one of these!
South African NTW-20 anti-material rifle. Sadly, firearms firing .50BMG [and larger] rounds are prohibited in Brisbane (I'm betting the 20-mm rounds are too). I believe you can get them in some states though, as I recall seeing other bolt-actions in .50BMG for sale outside of Brisbane.

You can get Barrett M99 bolt-actions [and others] chambered in .416 Barrett (a necked down .50BMG case firing a .416 diameter bullet instead of a .50 cal one. It's actually a better round for long range shooting), but at around $10,000, I'll pass. Plus, the neighbors would think I'm blowing up stuff with homemade explosives (BOOM!).
I'll stick to 12 gauge slugs if I want to make really big holes in things (12 gauge works out to .729 in diameter, or about 18.5-mm). Hell, you can get a single-shot 12 gauge for like $50, add in a the slugs, which are about $1 a piece, and you can have the same amount of fun (probably more pain on the shoulder though).
