Seems like a waste of gun. If the .30-06 can't get a job done, then the .375 H&H can.
I understand why people are fascinated with firepower, but there comes a time when enough is enough.

I'm on dial up, so is that the gun that knocks several different guys flat on their butts, even when shooting from the sitting position?
This is the same thing, but longer, and with more people stepping up to fire the rifle.

I like how the last guy thinks he's big stuff........his rifle probably weighed a good 3-4 pounds more though.
.577 T-rex eh, look up a'lil info on it. With the meanest load I found its makes 133ft/lbs of recoil....in a 13lbs gun.
(Numbers this big may throw off LEE's recoil generator...took me awhile to figure out that 33.8ft/lbs on the screen ACTUALLY meant 133fl/lbs. I guess LEE doesn't expect people smart enough to use a computer to be dumb enough to shoot a gun with over 100ft/lbs of recoil!

I'd like to see a video of those guysgetting a butt- whooping from dropping the gun! I figured out what the recoil was pulling both triggers on my 12 gauge double at one time, around 70 ft/lbs if I recall...not that bad but we're not talking about and aimed shot either!

I think I'd try it at least once. I'd make sure i was wearing my PAST Mag-plus shoulder pad, and maybe a piece of carpet pad to boot, and I want to shoot it sitting in a chair as upright as possible but I'd want the chair to be on well lubricated rollers!!!!
I'd probably end up in the chiropractors office for a week, but it would be cool.
