Thank you, this is exactly the type of information that is really helpful; someone my age who can comment on recoil of a particular caliber. I know that perceived recoil can be subjective, and that different shooters have very different tolerance levels. But it's nice to know that it's not unreasonable for someone at a similar life stage.I never shot anything bigger than my 416 Rigby until I purchased a Heym 500 NE about a year and a half ago. Now I'm 60 years old and find after putting around 200 rounds through the 500 that its very handy, fast, balanced and with a red dot I hope will get me on my first buffalo in about 5 weeks. I'm not recoil shy, but I am getting old! I don't find the 500 difficult to shoot and think the reward of said caliber complements what I'll be doing in Mozambique perfectly... Time will tell.
