Muzzle rise of double .577 NE. on recoil (!?)
21/08/05 03:35 PM

Hi guys. What a wonderful bunch of fellows who really know their stuff.

In mid 1990's, while reading one of Guns & Ammo rifle annual editions, there was a photograph of an individual firing a double .577 NE. Guys, I wasn't on the " sauce " but the barrels of this gun, supposedly taken in full recoil, were about 60 DEGREES ABOVE THE HORIZONTAL. Two-thirds the way to straight up! Could this be? If so, how could one manage a quick second shot with a gun that behaves as such?

I have a photograph of Elmer Keith firing a Hoffman .505 Gibbs taken in full recoil. The barrel rise is about a true 30 degrees above horizontal. I could live with that and would expect such from a 10 1/2 lb. .505. John Taylor states that the muzzle rise of a .577 and .600 is about 5-6 inches! What am I to believe?

Thanks very, very much.
