I'm sure other people have had different results, but I can tell you that I fired a VC .500NE and found it to be the hardest kicking rifle I have ever experienced. The stock obviously didn't fit me and gave me a good belt to the face as well as the shoulder. It made my Merkel .500NE feel like a love tap. The owner of that rifle agreed, and he traded off the rifle not long after that shooting session.

The rifle advertised is not the same one I shot, so stock dimensions may be different. My comments may be entirely off-base as to this rifle.

I guess my point is, the larger the caliber, the more important is proper fit so the recoil can be handled. I didn't measure the dimensions and weight of the VC I shot. I also didn't pick it up to shoot it again! Two rounds were enough to satisfy me with that particular rifle. This statement comes from a guy (me) who has shot many hundreds of rounds through a Merkel .500NE.
