.416 Rigby vs .54 Sharps
04/09/14 03:01 AM

I had occasion to take my new Ruger #1 in .416 Rigby, and my Sharps, Hartford model,.54cal 'Paper Cutter' (loaded with about 80 gr. BP) to the range and fire them for fun. I fired the Ruger offhand, military sling style grip, and the Sharps bench style. For whatever reason, I must say the Sharps had greater 'felt recoil' than the .416. My Daughter-in-law made a video of the Ruger and I was surprised to see the muzzle climb, though not perceived. And at about 75 yds, pretty darn accurate for open sights! Pic also shows my Mauser action .270, set triggers. Great fun throwing big lead down range!
