Lovely rifle smile

I have a couple big bore Ruger #1's, including a .458, which I've benched with 500gr loads running about 2000 fps. It's about 9 lbs as it is. Recoil is worse than my .45-90 Sharps, which is a little over 10 lbs. I have the shotgun buttplate, like your rifle. Like ET said, the modern gun is harder and faster.
