Was just re-accessing this thread to share a photo with a member. I always get a "kick" out of these images so will share again.

I MUST load these images into a gif generator so they move.

I found that shooting my 12 pound .577 VSRE (same ballistics as the .577NE) was easier than 8.75 pound .505 SRE (same ballistics as the .500 NE), but that I had to step back two steps each time I fired it, something not always possible in the game field, so I never used it as a hunting rifle.

I'm glad to say, I have lost weight since my photo at the beginning of the thread.
