Hey I'm still getting used to the this forum so if this comes out looking like a computer program insted of a paragraph excuse me. Yeh I have a soft spot in my heart for African rifles and cartridges. I'm pretty good at taking recoil but the largest round I've shot is a 300 win mag with a 180 gr billet. Factory load. I had a sharps replica that was about 9lbs and a steel butplate that I shot 420gr lead at 1100fps. It thumped you but I could shoot a box full in an hour with no problem. What I learned to do when shooting a big round for the first time was to stand up brace you legs like you were going to push something heavy like a car, then bend you knees and lean into it, pull the gun into your shoulder hard. Then pull the forearm down align up your sites, make sure your scope if one and your thumb aren't near your eye or nose and squeeze the trigger.
If everything goes as planned the shot goes off and the gun and you recoil up and back together. Yeah the spec on the 404 Jeffery look good, I can't wait get mine built. Well I've got to go. I'll talk to you later. I'm trying g not to get Blown away by this hurracane.
