I am a little surprised at how much muzzle rise there is in this video. Seems a lot more than I see with 470's.

I like the way you followed up with the quick second shot.

I have learned the hard way not to pause to see what happened after the first one when shooting buffalo.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

That is certainly not a function of recoil level, but a function of how comfortably I grip and shoot this rifle.

On the 470's and 500's, most people (me included) take a very stringent grip and pull the rifle into their shoulders very firmly while really cinching down on the barrels too.

On to the 450/400, however, I don't do that – the recoil just doesn’t justify that type of hold, and I don't find the need to brace for the recoil like I do on the larger calibers (this round is sooo easy to shoot.)

For that reason, it is definitely rising more than if I were deliberately trying to keep the barrels down with a forceful grip.

Exactly! You've got two barrels, two triggers (sorry, Will), two bullets, and with a little prictice, you can get two bullets into whatever you shoot before they can get away.

Two well-placed bullets in the animal have to be better than one, right?

That is probably why the guys made a rifle with two barrels in the first place, you think?

Let me add that I have seen Chris shoot, and I have hunted with him on several occasions.

There are no flies on his shooting ability.

Nice shooting for sure! Can we see more footage

anywhere else on the web? I think Saeed would allow
you to post a longer version here, on AR! wave

Or what about on your own www.heymusa.com site?

Oh good grief. If I blink I miss the whole thing, and even if I don't blink I miss most of the 2 seconds of video.

Might I suggest you put it up on You Tube. Your clip here doesn't do much justice to what happened or to the buffalo or to yourself.
