That's the reloading room/indoor range/rifle of Saeed, the owner of the Accuratereloading site.

The T-Rex gives FPE in the 8-9.5k range.
I forget the specifics on that particular rifle, but I think it's a fairly light sporter.
Saeed has a 'hall of fame' collection of vid clips on his site of each of his friends and guests who've taken the T-Rex on for a shot or two.

There's more detail on the AR site.
Pretty entertaining stuff.

The only shooter who knew what he was doing was the last one. He had the right stance to deal with that kind of recoil. Most of the others were standing like they were shooting a target rifle off hand, shoulders back, stomach thrust out, balance between the feet.

For that kind of rifle you need to take a trap shooter's stance, left foot forward, with most of the weight on it, shoulder held naturally, not thrust forward and anticipating the recoil, face firmly against the stock comb, butt firmly against the shoulder, just the way you would shoot a shotgun. Otherwise, it will bite you.

Be prepared to move the left foot to the rear without crossing over the right foot, then the right foot to the rear. It's a sort of little dance, which is not hard to master. It takes some room, however. This is better done outside, not over a concrete floor, just in case you lose control of the rifle, like most of these shooters did.

You have to wonder about someone who would encourage his friends and guests to risk injury by shooting something they are totally unprepared for just for his amusement.

They would do a lot better if they would tuck the but stock closer in to the center of their chest and use a proper stance. Most hold the but pad way out on the shoulder= a no no.

Don't think I'll be buying one of those any time soon...

Especially a used one that has had that kind of hard life

Isn't that Saeed some kind of wealthy arab oil tycoon? That rifle is probably one of dozens. Indoor range? yep he's rich.

I don't know what, if any ties he has to the oil industry, but he is a member of the royal family.

Every one of those folks saw the cartridges being loaded in the T-Rex rifle before they shot it! They were not blind-sided!

As far as proper stance goes, it does help to control the rifle, but that rifle is going to bite you no matter how you hold it!

Hmmmmph... what a bunch of idiots. Half of them hadn't the slightest idea of how to hold even a moderately powerful rifle- and why spoil the "fun" by showing them? If this was shown in sequence, some apparently couldn't even figure it out after watching the others. And it looks like the rifles are pretty well expendable. I wonder if they also go out on the weekends to see who can roll his Hummer the most times. This kind of display of people with more money than sense, goofing around with dangerous toys, leaves me cold I'm afraid. But to each his own...

I still think it was hilarious watching them try to handle the big recoil!

Mac

You are assuming that all those guys would do not even know how to hold a rifle properly know what that big a cartridge is capable of.

I find Saeed to be an Ass of the first Mark. Just the way he treats his 'friend' Walter shows that. How many of your friends do you go out of your way to humiliate to strangers and how many feel they have to act the 'Clown' to keep your friendship?

More like a Pet than a Friend.

Saeed has an inferiority complex that forces him to keep trying to prove that he is better than those around him.
