[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2781647, member: 313"] Clearly some people are into self-abuse. When I was young and working in a LGS, a customer ordered a LH German made 460WBY Mark V rifle. It took about a year for the rifle to come in and the customer no longer wanted the rifle and forfeited his hefty deposit. The gun sat on the shelf collecting dust for a loooong time. I would make an offer on it every now and then. Eventually the boss gave in and gave me the rifle for a fraction of its cost. There was no brass available, so I got a few boxes of factory 500gr WBY ammo and went shooting. Yup, all 140lbs of a skinny kid and his 460WBY rifle. That sucker threw me back so fast that my eye glasses would end up on the ground after every shot. LOL But the self-abuse didn't dissuade me so I bought some dies and kept shooting that stupid rifle. Most of my friends would pull the trigger on that thing only ONCE and they could barely hold on to it. I shot a few PA groundhogs and eventually put the rifle in the back of my safe. As I got older & smarter, I put on a few pounds, got rid of the eye glasses, and [B]sold that rifle!! [/B]For the life of me, I just don't know what compelled me to buy that monster in the first place. 🤪 [/QUOTE]
