What gun would you NOT shoot (recoil wise)

[Aussier]

Not talking about not wanting to put up with the recoil of a bigger calibre as you're regular shooter, but as a once off experience shooting something big.

Nitro, T-Rex, whatever...

Just thinking for fun.

What gun would come out that would make you think, Nah, no thanks!

[AusTac]

A 50. AE pistol, because i like my wrists

[Supaduke]

Nothing

[Wm.Traynor]

Something with more recoil than both barrels of a 12G. My very first hunting experience was with a borrowed, twin-trigger, twin hammer jobbie and I must have had both my fore finger and middle fingers inside the trigger guard...............
Never did it again

Yep shoot them all once, someone with a 500 or 600 nitro offers you a shot you take it, you may never get another offer like that.

There isn't a shoulder fired rifle I wouldn't have a go at, same with pistols

500 nitro is heaps fun, you would have to be mad to turn a shot down!

I agree mate. The only thing more fun than shooting a big double rifle is watching a 60kg fella fire both barrels at once

Haven't met it yet, but I am large and heavy. At 10 a .303 was a touch savage, didn't stop me firing it again though.

T-Rex....once and ONCE only....my god ....words can't and wont describe it....lol

This animal doesn't exist.

Simultaneous firing of both barrels of a double barrel 10 gauge magnum. Had that happen with a 12 gauge in 2 3/4 chamber. wouldn't do it for a 10 gauge Maggie.

[Conallin24]

So many people are saying that they have pulled both barrels at the same time (yes accidentally.) I am good friends with multiple gunsmiths and they say that you can split your barrels by doing this. So if you have a double trigger I suggest leave a .5-1 second between shots.

Not really obsessed with big guns anyway but if I could afford to get into real long range stuff I'd be happy to have one of Brett's custom 50's.

That cheapo Serbu fiddy break action is starting to look very attractive

I reckon it'd be fun as well, but not at Australian prices.
US$1500 but A$3355 for the base model here.

I've been thinking, Warwick or Serbu... And I am coming to the same conclusion.

A piece of priceless wisdom which I gained from a Champion full bore shooter and excellent coach.

"You have to like what the the rifle is doing to you".

Get into that and you can then begin to shoot from a low / stable but physically poor recoil absorption position and also appreciate things like torque reaction on the rifle as the projectile gains rotation.

The same coach had a small supply of F4 plastic blanks, he would offer to allow the student to maintain position whilst he reloaded the rifle, he would then feed a blank into the Omark and watch.

Flinch is an accuracy killer, any damn fool who puts a kid or green shiela behind a big rifle first off is compensating for having a really small dick.
