Trying to shoot a rifle.

This is great. Some of these guys get the ear protection knocked off their head. :biggrin:

Holy crap what kind of gun is that. I shoot a 50 cal once and it didn't kick that much.

Having shot a .577 T-Rex as depicted in that video, I can attest to its recoil. That said, it isn't a cannon, and is more pleasant to shoot than, say, a Carl Gustav recoilless rifle.

Accurate reloading used to have a bunch of those vids on their site. Pretty funny to watch.

I saw this way back. It never gets old to watch.:biggrin:

WTH How does that caliber and load make any ergonomic sense? Even the guys who were braced and ready were clearly in pain!

These guns, along with the Holland & Holland Nitro Expresses (which came in .500, .600, and even a .700) were generally though of as last ditch rifles when hunting safari game. When you have an elephant charging you, I don't think ergonomics are a shooter's first concern.

OMG i need one

On the surface I feel as if I need one, deep down I know it's just want.

Very true, but man is it a big want
