But battlecannon isn't exactly a Space Marine style weapon. That and the fact that mounting it on a light (compared to a Leman Russ anyway) chassis might have some problems. Even if the GW universe guns must have some massive recoil dampers to stop the gun hitting the back of the minuscule Leman Russ turret when fired...

The problem with Sabre is that it is basically a Predator without side sponsons. Add more firepower and you get a predator. Subtract some and it's completely useless. BTW, could someone refresh my memory. When did Sabre get a turret? The original Sabre in some old White Dwarf (100 + n where n is a relatively small integer) had hull mounted gun.
