They are beautiful rifles. 15 pound is a hefty gun.

7,000 - must pick up and throw a buffalo, No?
Equal and Opposite Reaction, no?
Must REALLY throw a 200 pound man shooting it. No?
Perhaps 7,000fpe is just a number from a formula designed to impress people who are impressed by large numbers?
Not saying it is not a powerful ctg. because it most certainly is, just saying 7,000foot pounds of energy actually means the power to lift 7,000 pounds 1 foot.
Beautiful and VERY large rifle.

Hmmm, a dual killer - kills at both ends.

I would suggest the 15lb OAW would go a long way towards mitigating the rear-end mortality!

I know guys who would tear a bicep raising that rifle.

...and it probably would kill me to carry a 15lb double from dawn till dusk along the Roper in mid- to late October!
I'll add that for that rifle, I would be willing to give it a go though!
