.470 Nitro Express with a steel buttplate. A guy at the range was trying to make 20 empties and asked me to help him at about shot 5. I took my medicine a few times and decided I wanted to keep my retinas attached.
Don't remember exact specs, but that rifle was stupid light for a .470, and the steel buttplate instead of recoil pad sucked big time.
I don't know if he finished making his empties, as it was a weekday and the range was empty-ish.
That rifle was truly brutal.
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine
