Big Rifles

[700LH]

Shot a 460 Weatherby at a hands on gun show about 30 years ago. They said it was about a 10 lb. gun with the scope, and had a nice rubber butt pad. I don't think I had ever seen a muzzle brake back then. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and figured it would begin to cause pain after 4 or 5 standing shots.
Watched the fella I was with shoot it, and he looked about like I felt, but then we were both young, healthy, knew how to hold it, and had both been shooting guns since we was babies practically.
It was interesting to watch some of the guys shoot, they would not feel the same about that gun.
Some received a pretty good jolt, and had pain in their eyes as they walked past the line as we waited for our turn.
