A .... Animal......What can I say..... its not quite a polar Bear but it hits like one... but if its quite heavy you can tame... it but too heavy you leave it at home.

Shot one lots. 350's up to 2800fps. Those were a bit hot on the shoulder so the gun and me liked 2635fps. It would shoot under an inch all day long. Probably closer to 1/2" About all the gun needs is a softer than stock recoil pad. As Rigby's go, it's the best bang for the buck. With just open sights the balance made the gun feel about a pound lighter.

Kool do you have the band in the stock... or the later one , the band on the barrel like the old eng....... But dont you find it Quit heavy?

Well I sold the gun. Something I will regret for years. It was the later ones with 23" barrel and the band in front of the stock. I didn't find it heavy while shooting, haha, but on an elk hunt it started feeling all of 10lbs. Not bad with a good sling.
