Yeah i like it. Got more range than a 458.
Not sure id want my 8lb rifle any lighter though. Recoil is hard enough to keep focused shot after shot on target.

Yes I noticed it recoiled higher than I expected. The weight is the answer. But I have never seem myself shooting my .404 ie on video, so no idea what it looks like. I do know it recoils more/hurts more than some others, I think due to stock shape/design.

I do know when I shot a pre-93 Blaser in .375 H&H Mag, 6 1/4 lbs all up, scope ammo all, it did also rise a lot. And was not nice.

Chuck, as a Blaser aficionado, what was the pre 93 Blaser model called?

Always amazing how much stock design and length really effect felt recoil..and yes, of course weight.. My Sako model 75 in 375 H&H is not an issue to shoot on or off the bench.. the Rem 416 is really not that bad either but its a good 1-1.5 lbs heaver than the .375.. I have a custom .416 mauser action, way more felt recoil.. was opposite of what I expected being a custom and all.. have a new Winchester controlled round feed in .416 as well, but have never fired it yet.. will this spring..

Surprised by your comment that the .404 kicks as much as it does??
