Just thought I'd post this from Sunday Ready for the shot . . .  Just a touch of recoil  She went back for seconds . . . She's about 5'6", weight around 135 or so. Hog Killer stated the recoil at about 70 pounds, or about half her weight (500 grain bullet around 2450 fps). Troy | ||

Troy, velosity is ~2260fps with the 500s. Your bride is a great sport, and she shot the Lott TWO times with full house loads What a gal!  Keith IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

Troy, I was picking up her brass as she ran the target course with the 9.3X62. I have to tell you, I was very impressed with her shooting. I do believe she outshot you and most of the other guys on Sunday. She's a great sport! ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | |||

Troy, I might have video of her shooting. I think my camera was still running while she went through the course. We'll see if I can get it down to a DVD TMc | |||

We were all impressed with the way she shot! She and Al's wife weren't hard to look at, either! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Troy, I didn't think to let her try my 450/400 3 inch double. Next time! | |||

I was pleased to see her run the course with an actual hunting rifle, and perform well. And, as the boys said, another fine looking Texas woman. It was so grand to get to meet you all. Next year the 577 comes with me! Rich DRSS Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost... | |||

Troy- I gotta tip my hat at your bride. Any lady that will shoot a .458 Lott more than once is a "keeper." Congrats!!!!!!!!!! May the wind be in your face and the sun at your back. P. Mark Stark | |||

lyman rear and necg front, longest sight radius possible opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round? Case Drawings 416-458-470AR and 500AR. 476AR, http://www.weaponsmith.com | |||

greenjoy, The rear sight is a Lyman 48, with the appature removed, for a ghostring setup. It is very fast to use and you see more of what you are aimming at than with a rear express sight. Front is an NECG Masterpiece. Like that set up so well, my 375 will be a match to the Lott.
