[@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.

[@TheNerfherder1000]

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!

[@Darkour97]

Hey Scott when you did the side by side on the cz 550 it might be me but at 3:37 I believe there to be a decent crack starting just behind the bolt. Not sure if it's just a groove in the wood or something more serious, hope you're doing well.

Can't you make your own ammo or is there some laws/regulations against that in US?

Reminds me older muzzleloaders, but there might be quite a bit of regulations against that I'm guessing?

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.

A SQUARE designed these stocks to be wider at the butt to help spread out the recoil over more of your shoulder.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Found a video where the rifle manufacturer said the stock also has several mercury filled inertia capsules in the stock to reduce recoil, he also said the 460 Weatherby Magnum is worse recoil, whereas the .577 is a big "push" rather than a sharp slap. That's his words.

[@hunterbohman7555]

I have been watching Scott for a few years now. I gotta say watching his shoulder take as many hits as it has, at the expense of me and other viewers, is pretty awesome. Not only had the quality of the videos gotten better, but are funnier and they keep getting better. How about a shoulder hit compilation video? Eh? Ehhh?!?

[@Bill_Hartnett]

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.

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.

.460 Weatherby is another round that's known to break that 10,000ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The one I shot weighed about 15lbs and had one hell of a muzzle brake so it didn't recoil much worse than a heavy .30-06 but it's definitely a powerhouse

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.
