Recoil question . . . please be honest
I am thinking about turning my 416 Rigby into a 500 A Square. If I both rifles weigh 10.5 pounds, how much harder is the 500 A Square going to kick me? Load would be 570 Barnes X at 2300 fps. Would someone who has shot both, or similar, please let me know what you thought. Thanks!

Like a mad mule (or in slightly more scientific terms, about half again as much recoil as the Rigby). - Dan

If you don't change that idiotic European hogback stock on the cz550 into something designed to handle recoil, you are likely to get the front receiver ring smacked into the center of your forehead first shot.

If you put a good brake, such as a Vias on the rifle, install a well-designed stock, and achieve 12 pounds of total rifle weight, the recoil will be very bearable.

I don't know if you would be able to hold and carry a 12-13# gun, after all, unless you really have been working out

... I'm going to go elk hunting with my husbands' 416 Rigby-it's a little heavy, but I have been working out so I think I can carry it,
Recoil will feel like 2x the 416 rigby, with a 10.5#, and about 1/2 again in a 13... without a brake... with a brake, well, a bmg can be pleasant to shoot with a good brake.. mike's is like 18#, with a brake, and kicks next to nothing... and roars like a cannon

judy judy judy,

It should kick you hard enough to knock some sense into your empty head.

Please post pic of your "416".

If not, please go back under the rock from whence you came, Ms Troll, Dr. Waffle House, Todd E., Axle, NRAChick, and with all your various persona's, et al..

Your using up bandwidth...Honestly [Eek!]

You have got to be kidding. [Smile] 'please be honest'? Judy? What an oxymoron. [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

There is a pic on the Empire Arms site of a .416 Rigby for you to scan and claim as your own if you want. Just trying to be helpful. [Wink]

Judy Judy Judy- It will kick the shit out of you! One tip, buy some high grade industrial strength SUPERGLUE for the repair of your new set of eyelashes. Shoot both right and left handed so that the scars match perfectly. You'll be glad you did! -Rob [Big Grin]

I would think someone who knows so much about bedding heavy recoiling rifles would be able to figure this out themselves. Just an observation.

JUDY It sounds painful. Don't hurt yourself.

Thanks to those of you who actually answered my question. I guess the rest have not actually shot a 500 A Square. They must just like to pretend, and talk about shooting their imaginary 500 A Square rifles here at AR!

Knowing how to properly bed a big bore rifle does not require first hand shooting experience with a 500 A Square, by the way.

Why can't we just get straight answers to questions, if you know the answer. All this other rambling is just that !!!

Frank, you're not familiar with the character known as "Judy".

He/She/It has a firmly established reputation as a pathological liar.

Yesterday it was a surgeon.
Tomorrow it may be an astronaut.

Everybody who has been here a while knows better than to waste time with it.

Have a good day.
Rick.

Judy has two pics posted in Gun Ownership and Politics on this forum. I was wondering what she/he/it looks like. [Smile]

I haven't been on here in quite awhile, so when I saw a post from "Judy" in the big bore section, I actually thought that maybe, just maybe, there actually was another woman who shot a big bore! But it was not to be!!! Just another troll, I guess... some things just never change, do they? Bummer. (Of course, I haven't shot my .416 all fall. [Roll Eyes] Hubby bought me a 7mm-08 last spring, so I've been playing with it. Downright tame, huh? [Wink] )
