I hate to say it but the Merkel 500 NE is the probably worst kicking rifle I own with the exception modified all weather ruger 338 rebarreled to 458 WM at about 6 pounds.Yes I added a muzzlebreak! Without the muzzlebreak it a beast from H*LL!!

They is a definite difference between a 470 NE, A standard 458 Wm, and/or similar kickers and the Big 500 Double!!

What's your worst kicker??
