Oh shoot I didn't watch it to the end.

The last guy may have been the man but we will never know since he had a different rifle.
Go back and watch the bolts and sight configurations in these rifles.
I count at least 4 different rifles.
Three I can't name due to grainy vid/lack of close ups but one is DEFINITELY a Ruger #1.
They may all be chambered in .577 but I would doubt it.
This IS too much rifle.
This is exactly what I was talking about with negative reinforcement through heavy recoil.
Did you see any of these nerds shoot it a second time?
Case and point.
Biggest I fired was a H&H 600 Nitro Express from a collection of an old friend who has passed on now. (moment of silence)
It was a VERY nice rifle. A true work of art that goes boom.
I do see why it never caught on though.
Damn double rifles.
These guys in the video are lucky because no one was waiting for them to fire the second barrel and put that big ol peanut sized bullet right next to the other !!!!
OUCH AND DOUBLE OUCH !!!!
BTW, what's up with all the Hajis in the vid??

OBTW
since someone may have actually gone back to look at sights I thought I would mention that what may appear to be 3 rear sights is in fact 3 rear sights.
These are to adjust for bullet drop at various distances by simply flipping up a different rear sight.
They are called Express sights and in the case of a .577 would probably be set at 50 yards, 100 yards and 150 yards. I'm not sure on these distances but the last rifle I shot withthese sort of sights came in around there.
Flip up the one you need, front sight, squeeze.............BOOM :roflmao
owww, my shoulder :roflmao someone help me up...... where did the gun land???
Yeah well he was the man to me only because he wasn't flung around like a rag doll. I did notice the different gun though. But I don't think he had much of a group to compete against there anyway. The gun falling on the ground made my stones shrink --- man, that was the thing I didn't find funny. But yeah, if the guns were not all chambered with the same round --- then all comparisons are off.
Some of those guys were doomed from the start ---- leaning on their back foot in preparation for the kick. Wouldn't want most of them firing any gun around me.

yep! I noticed the guys leaning back as if scared to get hurt instead of leaning into the shot and keeping the butt of the rifle tight against the shoulder! there is no place safe, except under a rock, when most of these guys shoot!!:gth
Do they make it in fully-automatic?

It did sound very "Lou".Quote:

Of course the explanation of gun sight design was a dead Non-Lou indicator.

These are necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for a Lou-post. Unlikely as it sounds, I have been guilty of being off topic on occasion too (not to mention incoherent etc..).Quote:
