How bad did they kick?
Those two rifles kicked pretty bad. I sold both. The .450 Marin to my nephew, who still has it, and the .330 Dakota to someone online.
The .500 S&W wasn't all that bad, since it's a big heavy handgun. The .44 Magnums differ, depending on how light or heavy the gun is, but my 329 PD .44 Magnum kicks so bad you can't really shoot full power loads without damaging your hand. I fractured my wrist firing six rounds of a bear defense load from mine.
