Could such a weakly designed stock shoot a .500 Jeffery or .458 Lott? Or would a different design stock be required?
Not only that, but how would the recoil feel is such a shaped stock?
By the looks of that stock, the recoil would be pretty much straight back and heavy. VERY heavy recoil.
I once shot a .338 Winch. Mag. on a very straight fiberglass stock, It recoiled straight back and was almost non-shootable for me.
I bedded the rifle for the owner. His horse rolled on the stock and broke it, so I restocked in a standard Mauser Boyd-Boys laminated stock,
and it transformed that rifle - felt more like a .30/06 or 7mm Mag. Easy to shoot.
