Hi guys, I am new here, and realativly new to big bore shooting. I have found an uncompleted ruger number 1 in .577 NE for sale. The reamer, barrel and dies are there, just needs to be assembled and a little work done on the action to feed. I havent even seen a .577 NE cartridge, much less fired one so I was wondering what sort of recoil could I expect from it?

I have a CZ 550 safari magnum in .416 Rigby which I handload for shooting 410 grain bullets at 2700 fps and 350 grain pills at 2850fps. I am able to handle the recoil generated by these loads, and so was wondering where the big .577 would be compared to that? I think it would be a fun rifle to have, but only if I could shoot it.

Is there any other suggestions that people may have about this set up?

Cheers
Steve
