Scott, I noticed in the first slo-mo that the bolt handle lifted and then went back down during the recoil! Probably due to the torsion recoil. If that opens too far, you might get an unpleasant surprise. I would submit this footage to the manufacturer! Kind regards from New Zealand.

I've never seen you get tossed around before so I KNOW that thing has some recoil. the .577 was literally made to be the most powerful shoulder fired "portable" rifle ever built. They just grabbed a 577 nitro cartridge and said "why is this so small?". They then proceeded to add powder behind it until it was barely fire-able. and you still handled it like a champ!

[@life_with_bernie]

3:37 That split in the stock that's starting just at the end of the receiver is just going to worsen over time if it's not taken care of now.

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

There was one guy in the video Scott refers to who was definitely a professional, because he handled with ease the same rifle that had been knocking the crap out of all the other guys. He just stood there with a wide stance and allowed his entire body to rock backward to better spread the punch over a wider surface area. People who know how to handle heavy caliber dangerous game rifles stand with one foot well forward of the other and basically turn their entire bodies into a big rocking chair to absorb the recoil.

[@Qualnias]

Scott, your .577 has a fairly significant crack in the stock right behind the bolt. I would highly recommend getting that fixed or get a new stock. The forces involved here could splinter that stock like a grenade. Don't need another (preventable) accident.

If a bull had body armor on and you used a 50 BMG the 50 would just tear through the armor and hit the target whereas if you used a hunting round, when the bullet comes in contact with the armor it doesn't go through the armor but rather punches the armor into the target.

Even the grip is basically a big wooden shaft parallel to the stock, assuming it's to prevent the gun breaking in that place from the sheer force of that 577 round

When you shot that grey poupon, I thought the explosion on the hit would end in the creation of a super-massive black hole and suck you and your truck into oblivion. Loved it but I'll pass on the .577 T-Rex, at 72 years old I really think I'd rather get shot with it than shoot it. The pain wouldn't last near as long!! Love your channel.

Scott, you mentioned one of your gun (the .700 I think) was $100 per round. Where does this fall in that? If only 24 of those were made, I imagine finding ammunition for it has to be really hard.

[@dopeymark]

I have been watching firearms content online as long as the internet has had it. The videos that you are describing from the past were from a website called Asccurate Reloading, if I'm not mistaken. They had mostly foreign guys standing up straight, shooting that rifle, and then falling over backwards. Sometimes the rifle itself would just go flying out of their hands. I didn't know that those guns were so rare.

[@evanmielhausen8946]

I just commented the same thing about dad and I watching those guys years ago. Neither did I!

[@jeromymagnuson7793]

Awesome!!! That thing is a monster bro I felt sorry for your shoulder watching that!

[@TheGhostOfPatrickHenry]

The .577 Tyrannosaur is a pipsqueak in comparison to the .950 JDJ. It fires a 3,600 grain bullet (that's literally half a pound of lead) at 2,200 FPS. That generates 39,000 ft lbs of energy on target. It's three times more powerful than a hot .50 BMG round. The rifle itself weighs 80-120 lbs (The muzzle brake alone weighs 16lbs) and still has over 200lbs of recoil energy. For reference, a 30-06 has 20lbs of recoil energy.

[@hwoods01]

The idea is having lots of power in a rifle that a person can still pack around & fire off-hand from the shoulder at a raging target. Noone is going to carry & fire off-hand (easily) a rifle over 20+ pounds, much less an 80-120 pound rifle. Once a rifle is limited to firing from a rest, then it can be as big as it wants as anyone can shoot it.

[@chriswilliams8196]

That was thoroughly entertaining. I'm truly impressed at how much recoil you can take and brush it off so seamlessly. It was great seeing gun genie again. Stay safe and look forward to seeing more.
