Shooting .500 NE Krieghoff Classic Big Five from bench rest?
02/01/07 10:11 AM

I've just purchased my first double, a .500 N.E. Krieghoff "Classic Big Five".
I've fired two rounds from a standing position, just to see what the recoil was like and how well the open sights were already pointing. The recoil was not as strong as I had expected, and I'll have no problem with it in a hunting situation.
HOWEVER, I'd now like to take a few shots from my bench, and I would appreciate advice on the extent to which I can add weight to my shooting rest so as to minimize the recoil to my shoulder--without any risk of initiating any cracking of the stock or other problems that too-solidly anchoring this gun might lead to.
Your guidance, please?.....
Thank you.
