A 458 Win in a lightweight synthetic stock, it had a peep sight and no scope it weighted about 6-1/2 lbs. I shot it off of a bench and on the first shot it jumped clear of the sandbags and I barely managed to keep the fore-end from hitting the bench. It was like being kicked by a mule - of course I figured that all I had to do was hold it slightly differently and it wouldn't be so bad. Wrong - the second shot hurt worse than the first. So I can say that I have had a grand total of two shots through a 458 Win, I don't want to kill anything bad enough to ever do a third one.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
