I got my new sigma 50-500 on friday and today is the first chance to use it properly.These were taken in raw and apart from a little levels and resize for web nothing else has been done no sharpening at all.
Canon 30D and the Bigma

@50m

@500m

And @500 with 2x converter =1000m

I'm well chuffed as you can imagine

That's a huge zoom range. How much did that lens cost you?

That is some crazy telephoto range you can cover. Wow.

Looking at around £700 - £800 I would reckon.
