"Sako's Brown Bear 500 Jeffrey Recoil?"

[Daniel Cary]

I've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this purchase as it's still on backorder, however, I have a question if anyone can help! I shoot Ruger's M77 in 458 lott, the weight idk? … I embrace the recoil and sound at times as an enthusiast. At 9 lbs in its stock form, can anyone compare this Sako's recoil shooting 570 or Full House loads opposed to a traditional bolt 458Lott? … just curious

Thank You, Dan

I’ve shot a friend’s Sako Safari .500 Jeffery with Federal factory ammo (570gr Woodleighs) and the recoil was quite manageable. Never shot a M77 .458 Lott, but I used to own a ZKK602 .458 Lott, which had quite a sharp kick to it with 500gr loads. The Sako was a better fit, and hence more pleasant to shoot

When you get it, let us know how it feels. I've thought of buying one in 450 Rigby.

I have a great experience with big bore rifles and I would like to warn those who ask too many questions about recoil that they will have a problem with their rifle and better consider whether they would not choose something else.

A rifle caliber 500 jeffery has a very strong recoil and is only suitable for hunters who can easily deal with the recoil of all big bore rifles including Double Rifles caliber 577NE or 600NE. The others should choose smaller cartridges that are also suitable and thus avoid the follow up of wounded game in the bush.
