[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 916769, member: 2740"] Be ready for your head to pop up like a Rock'em Sock'em robot! I briefly had a T/C encore barrel in 416 Rigby with open sights. That thing they say about the big bores being more of a push on recoil doesn't apply to light rifles. The recoil was hard and fast. Didn't injure me but sure did hurt my trigger finger with the trigger guard. Having said that I have a Rem 700 in 416 Rem Mag that weighs about 10 lbs and it isn't bad at all with 400 gr bullets at 2400 fps. That is what the Rigby is loaded to although the Rigby can be loaded a couple hundred fps faster. Best advice is to get a good tight grip with both hands, it helps to let your whole body roll with the recoil. A nice heavy scope to add some weight wouldn't hurt either. [/QUOTE]
