Bad part is, the 11" barrel makes it so front heavy, its not practical. With the effective muzzle-brake, fire shoots out 5 feet in all directions at low light. Its freakin blinding. I highly suggest hearing protection. I shot a doe 3 years ago, and was blind and feel like I did permanent damage to my left ear.
Same deal with the 500. Lastly, its hell on scopes, both the 460 and 500. No matter what the mount, (and I have tried em all) they will twist. I went thru 2 leupolds and a bushnell elite on my 460. Well, one leupold just sent back twice. Leupold said these guns are killing these scopes and actually recommended mounted with the mount touching the erector/recticle housing.
I like the guns, but I seem to love 44/454's better for practical hunting. I also have a super redhawk that is my now hog pistol.
Thats a double roger that on the hearing protection!!!! I wear plugs and electronic muffs at the range and just the electronic muffs when hunting, helps keep my ears warm!!!!! Burris LER (Long Eye Releif, 2x7x32 Posi Lock. Burris Extreme Tactical mounts, Burris scope mount. Over 500 shots, no problems. Warranty FOREVER, no BS!! I have 5 of these scopes on my big pistols. Top one is a 3x12x32mm on my 7mmBR pistol.
