    No surgeries on the shoulders, just past dislocations and arthritis.

    Right now the plan is to go off-hand unsupported, and see how much of a ride it takes me on.

    Kentucky Ballistics kinda ruined it for everyone with his 4bore falling block. I am not particularly a fan of KB, but that rifle is 1" diameter and shoots a (ahem) 2136 gr bullet.

    The videos are hilarious

    Makes a .416 Rigby seem tame.

    No doubts there, only thing I got going is being a fraction of KB’s build.

    That said, I don't wanna shoot a 4 bore OR a .416. Id watch you do it tho.
    I'd probably pass on a 4-bore, when the free recoil energy outweighs me by 50+lbs, my sense of self-preservation actually starts to speak up. :)

    Honestly, I don’t know off the top of my head, I’ll check tomorrow and see.
    Ed, totally forgot to get back to you - appears to be a push-feed, but I may be mistaken as I don't really know all the exact differences between the 2.

    And it does have a 2.5x Redfield Fullfield optic on it as well.

    HAHAHA I really got a surprise and laugh when I read, " I have one in my shop on consignment..." Then I saw pic of a rifle.

    I was thinking this was going to be a Ruger Handgun not a rifle. Ironically, I thought this because yesterday I was looking at Super Blackhawks, and Redhawks etc to find that Ruger made them in 454 Cassull and 500 S&W.
