That's incredible shooting from both the rifle and the rifleman. Brain shots at 50 yards with a 500J will stop anything!
Great shooting Sir
Yes, hats off!
Brain shots with a .375 will also stop anything
Problem is when you miss the brain
Nice shooting - the Sako would knock me over lol
It feeds nicely. Great shooting.

Those targets were shot in the competition. All standing, unsupported.

There was a flinch developing ..and it showed up in the video...and on the 50 meter target with that shot out in the 5 ring.
On that weekend competition, in addition to the R8, I'd been shooting Rigby's in 416 Rigby and 375 H&H. The trigger on those rifles is a tad lighter than that on the R8 (which also has a fantastic trigger). Anyway, after a long session with big rifle recoil and a bit of anticipation on trigger break there was a flinch developing. By the end of that day I'd reached my limit on handling recoil.

I csm imagine.
Hsd the pleasure to shoot a 416 Rigby Ruger no 1 if the Bench once.
Open sights, 100m a solid hit.
Lets say the second shot was wayy harder after i knew what would happen

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
