[QUOTE="GelatinousPig, post: 1149247, member: 93689"] Ok, took it to the range and waited for the line to clear out. All of the reports about the insane recoil are underestimates. It pushed me back about 4 feet, came up and over me landing about 12 feet back, and the back stop buckled under the strain nearly causing it to topple over. Two guys rushed over to see what happened because their car windows shattered, and there was a 12 year old over at the 25 yard lanes crying wanting to leave. I heard sirens coming in the distance, at least I thought they were as the shrill ringing in my ears was muffling most of the sound, and my ear plugs were still in too boot. I staggered as I stood up (yes it knocked me off my feet), and realized the muzzle blast had caused atmospheric disturbances to the degree that thunder clouds with lightning were forming over the range scattering folks who looked for shelter from the strikes. It was then that I decided this was the rifle+cartridge for me. On a more serious note, it kicked less than my 12 gauge with 7 1/2 shot. Why do so many people on the net make calibers above .308 out to be mythical fire-breathing dragon slayers that only Hercules can operate? [/QUOTE]
