Not yet, got 100 of the cannelured version from Cabelas last year, all I've done so far is hypothotize on it, it's in the FAQs. ;) Krochus and jerkface11 shot them 3 years ago.

I used 350 gr XTP's (pushed by H110) for deer season last year in Indiana. Got a 9 pt buck and two does on opening morning. Was the first trip for the 500. I am thinking it may be just a bit much for deer and I do have a .44 to use also. But it's nice to have the big boy.

I wonder too if you guys use the factory sights or scope??? I have a red dot on mine but not sure how it will hold up.

Here is mine:



Its wearing a Factory Ultra base, Leupold PRW rings and a Leupold VXII 2X7 matte with a German reticule.



 I also now have these stocks on it.  ;D



 It shoots good enough for what I want.



With a cast 440 gr bullet and Lil gun powder, I am getting some good velocities, too!!

Looks like the LilGun is a good match for the 500.  And at that speed, otta smack any deer or black bear down hard.  DP

It's just an optical illusion due to camera angle.

 LOL..
For YEARS every time my pop picks up one of my rifles w/a scope, he proclaims this one is crooked too!!  ::) Little does he know, I have owned, and use a scope level for at least 10 years... He must shoot slightly canted.

 Tim must be right. I know its level, but it sure do look crooked!!  ;D

I put the Weaver peep from my BC on my 500 with the stock front firesight and have been very happy with it. It does blow a big hole and I unfortunately hit my first deer taken with it right on the left shoulder. It looked as if a frag grenade went off in there. He didn't run.

The scope is not level, it is down hill to the right.  Larry

I agree with Tim.

If you look at the frame it looks like it is bent to the left, which I would findhard to believe.
