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??
Found this thread the other day..started laughing a bit reading the responses..
Agree with the above however..the hardest kicking rifle I have ever shot was a Merkel in .470NE..not sure if its stock design, too short for me, whatever..but WOW..2- 4 shots and that was it for me..sold it..got a WR in same caliber..can shoot that all day long no problem..
