Bob, I think you would really like this Big .50, It is a HEAVY Rifle. In my Honest opinion it is an Easier Rifle to Shoot (Recoil Wise) than my 1-18 Twist .45 with 530-540 Grain Bullets, My .45 Has a Noticeably Sharper Kick to it. So far, My Shoulder has NEVER been Sore with this Big .50 Cal,
I can’t say that about my 1-18 Twist .45, I have had a Sore Shoulder with it Several times
The above doesn’t make sense? But it’s the Truth. It‘s kinda like this Small Bore .358 of mine, 1-15 Twist with 340 Grain Bullets, 1“ Octagon Barrel, it’s HEAVY, But it also has a SHARP Recoil, it is Harder to Shoot than my 1-18 Twist .45 Cal. With this Small .358 Bore Using my Left hand to Adjust my Rear Rest Bag, I have to pay attention or the Trigger Guard will SMACK my Hand and it HURTS, I have been hit with it MANY times. This Big .50 is Much easier to Shoot, The Recoil is a Push, instead of SHARP
