I am not sure I would want to shoot it, but would love to see it!!

I would imagine the recoil would get your attention.

Are you building it for a.specific hunt , or just for fun?

What weight projectile you shooting thru that and what velocity do you expect? Intense looking rig.

 

[kukusya]

Wow just wow!

 

[Jörg Krüger]

Gonna be a killer on both ends for sure. Stunning none the less

If you miss the critter, at least you can crawl in the barrel and hide.

That reply was awesome!!

Cool looking rifles. I got a concussion just thinking about shooting it.

 

[mark-hunter]

I have to ask - has anybody hunted with this cartridge?
How is recoil?

I had to look on internet, to get idea, and if online sources are correct it goes up to from 14 to 19.000 foot pounds. This is comparable to 50 BMG.

375 HH is up to 4.400 foot pounds for comparison. Just a baby compared to this.

Who's building this for you?

Neat rifle!

I shot a 600 NE some years ago and the recoil certainly woke you up. I think Id pass on a gun this light though...

Any chance you could throw up a video of you shooting these to show the stance, recoil, power, and just because it's neat?

I'd appreciate it

I like the short forend to go with the short barrel. It doesn’t look weird like most 16” rifles.
