Recived the .500 S&W monday, went shooting it today only shot 5 rounds due to break in cleaning and shooting other guns ... i put iron sights on and at the end of 5 rounds it was bulls at 25 yards .. I shot three with the break on and two with it off and the thread cap on. RECOIL not as bad as i thought it would be with out the break and with the break it makes this barrel/gun a real good hunting tool.. I did not know if i was going to put a scope on it but this will get one for sure.... too bad i cant get this done by the 1ST im going to Maine. well i ll have it ready for spring pigs..My buddy shot two of the five rounds one with tammer one with out well the one with out made his hand bleed,,that sissey...if you cant shoot with the big boys get off the range.. Haaa Haaa
