Despite all the video evidence of the whoop-ass that thing packs, I still want to shoot it.

I've never shot that caliber, but is it really that hard to manage? And by that hard, I mean impossible?

Is it just me, or did no one in that video have a good stance or grip on the rifle?
ETA: Except the last guy. He seemed to be leaning into it a bit. |

That rifle and home-range is owned by Saeed, the owner of www.accuratereloading.com - great guy - helped me out a lot when I was planning my first African safari. His family owns UAE airlines, and he owns a beautiful house with tons of animals, including cheetahs he rehabilitates. He allows anyone who visits him to try out the .577 rifle - most fire it with no problem - these videos you see are the "others".

750 grain triad with 10,077 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle.
You decide. |

I'd love to try the .577, and a .700NE while I'm at it. I can use the recoil from the second gun to relocate my shoulder after the first one.

It's obvious to a trained eye that he was going to handle it better than any other. When I saw his stance and mount I knew he was going to get the best of the rifle. |

I have a .600 OverKill. I is basicly a rimless, belted .600NE that works in a bolt gun. I can fire 900gr .620" diameter bullets at 2300fps (over 10K ftlbs). The powder charge is 170grs of H4350. Any Arfcomer who makes it up to Ne. Pa. (I'm north of Scranton), can give her a whirl. PM me, we'll fire a few rounds and then have a beer or three.

Isn't the .50 BMG about 12,000 FP? The .460 Weatherby is around 8,000 FP and I've heard that's a beast. Geez, makes the .458 WM I tried sound like a pansy round... |

I don't and probably never will hunt the African Big 5, but I have to think...
Wouldn't a followup shot be difficult with that rifle? And don't say "You won't need one." Even the best shots miss now and then. Personally I'd feel better with a .375H&H double rifle that I KNOW I can get a followup shot off with. |

There's a video interview with the creator of that rifle(Art Alphin?) and he says felt recoil is less than a .460 Weatherby. That's not saying much though-people I've talked with who have fired the .460 say it's the biggest kicker they've ever fired.

The answer is no, not if you train. If you look at my pic above, I'm letting the rifle climb, just rolling with it. The felt recoil is not as bad, like that. Now, if you bear down, it won't climb like that. I can get shots off at 2.5 second intervals. We were playing around at the range with it. I can smash a pumpkin, cycle the gun and smash another 2.5 seconds later (according to the timer). Both were at 20 to 25 yards away (any closere and you get "stuff" on ya  )That time could be reduced with more practice. |
