I agree whith 9.3 and Ripp

Perhaps the reason lies in the seeming insistence to have large bores way underweight for caliber.

It is not so prevelent in this forum but in other places it is endemic.

I just cannot understand it. If one is strong enough to shoot the gun then why is one not strong enough to carry an 11 lb rifle. Why build the damm thing at 9 1/2 plus scope.

There was a video in the other place I think, from somebody that in his posts insisted that his .600 was only 10 1/2 lbs. Then when video arrived the frigging thing had a muzzle break on it that would have graced the Bismark.

IMHO it is just getting sillier and sillier.

From my observations on lots of ranges a .300WM or a 12G with slug is as much as most people can take.
