Hello all,

I hope all of you had a great Christmas. Just my two cents on recoil. Out of all of the double rifles that I have had and now have, my 465 H&H without a doubt has the most felt recoil of any double that I have shot! I am excluding the 577 and the 600 of course. I don't know what it is about this rifle but it is definitely unpleasant to shoot. I had a 470 Rigby, a 476 Westley Richards, a plethora of other big bore double rifle and this H&H smacks you like a Weatherby! I shot 23 rounds through it from the bench and I was never so happy to get home and have 3 Bombay Blu Sapphire maritni's and 3 Advil!
