Nice looking rifle!
I just can't get excited about that chambering, though. I think it would be much more enticing as a .577 NE with a few pounds shaved off. Just MHO.

wharf,
I am sure it kicks much more than I could handle.
I just posted this because the rifle looked really nice and I am sure that there are members here who not only enjoy looking at monsters like this one but also hunt with them.
Good hunting!

Nice link Mehul,
The recoil on that would be pretty stout, even for a bigbore nut.
For factory loads 2000fps with 1000gn you get about 130ftlbs recoil at that weight.
For the reduced 1900fps or so load about 115-120ftlbs.
For comparison the factory 460wby runs about 100
ftlbs.
Karl.

Karl,
If the recoil worries you, it must be even more frightening than I imagined it would be.
I thought the rifle looked really nice and posted it here. The only thing that looked silly to me was the coin in the stock but then I guess whoever paid for it knew what he wanted.
Good hunting!

According to THE BIG BORE RIFLE by McIntosh, a 700 NE in a 19lb rifle will offer 136.37lbs of recoil energy vs. 'only' 105.10 for a 600NE. But, if you think that is bad, flip through CATRIDGES OF THE WORLD, 10th ed and see some of the larger big bore 'proprietary' and wildcat rounds, 158+++ Just my idea of fun, fun, fun. A couple of the latter will make the 700 seem like a 7mm Rem. No charge for nosebleeds on firing. Dave

Dave, true but if the 700nitro is in a strong action you csn load it back to its own class-over 2600fps with a 1000gn bullet, and recoil more than 200ftlbs from the same weight rifle.
This is over 50BMG power so similar weight rifles are indicated.
Mehul, about the only thing I would not fire again is full power 500gn 460 wby loads...from the hip.
It nearly broke one of my fingers.

I wouldn`t shoot a Weatherby .460 mag again under any circumstances. It`s not just the recoil - which is bad enough - but the muzzle blast which is appalling .......good for clearing garbage from the range though. It heads my list as the nastiest piece of **** calibre on the planet.
- I just have to know: WHY did you shoot it from the hip ?

Hey Mehul - `Farky` ? Pronounced `Farson` I presume ? !

I have not shot either the .460 or the .378 We'by but the commentary I have read suggests the smaller bore actually has a nastier kick and even a worse muzzle blast.
