Dang boy! That brings back the memory of firing my .500 A-Square for the first time.
I bought the rifle in 1996 from the original owner out of California. He had never made it to Africa so wanted to get rid of it. Once it was here I put it on a baby scale and with four cartridges weighed exactly 11 pounds 4 ounces. I telephoned Art Alphin at his old facility in Kentucky to ask him what this thing would do to me. He told me it recoiled like a .375 H&H due to the large area of the butt. Okay, I have a .375 H&H. Art lied. It was something I cannot even describe. Kind of like your photo; it is better than words. Dang!
