I get a kick out of this everytime I think of it, I was in a pawnshop years ago and the ole boy that owned it noticed I was eyeballing a .458 win mag in a ruger no.1, it wasn't the caliber that struck me it was the size of the rifle, that thing was BLOCKY! I've shot several .458s and the recoil was nowhere near my .375 RUM. Anyway the pawnshop owner and I got to bsing about the big guns and recoil, he looked at me over his glasses as they were sitting on the end of his nose and he said, young man you want a rifle that kicks? I got a gun back there in a case that kicks so hard you will forget where you parked your car!!

I laughed til I about peed myself!
