I'm pretty fond of these two in 45-70.

Someday I want to shoot a .45-70 out of a revolver; that has to be a blast (literally). Great combo!

Ouch. The phrase "loaded for bear" comes to mind. Love that holster.

I would also like to try a .45-70 revolver. Probably not loaded up to the gills, but I think that a heavy cast bullet (522gr) at moderate velocity (800fps or so) would be a blast.

Had the opportunity to shoot the Phillips 45-70 SA - interesting - everyone should have a chance to do this. 6 lbs I believe.

Scott, we've been shooting Grizz's load of 525s at 'bout 1350 and it is not painful whatsoever......Garrett's 420 +P (which are about 1850 out of the CB pictured) are not particularly much for say 10 shots.....It's so heavy, that most loads are not as painful as a fullhouse 44 mag in a SBH...

I find a .44 mag generally kicks more than my .500 Linebaugh at the levels I shoot. Of course, you can load it up to hurt, but there is no need.

Whew doggie, that is one massive hogleg!!!

Here is a 500 Linebaugh by Jack Huntington and reviewed by John Taffin that is the biggest I have fired, not loaded heavy. Bluing is by Turnbull. Not mine but a very nice piece.

I think Grizz can do that.......I can't find my copy of it anymore......Honest, it's just a big old pussycat....

I just thought the jacket was NEEDED to keep his Wrist ,elbow, and shoulder in place.

I remember firing a 12-gauge pump shotgun a friend had cut down to minimum legal length, with a 'handgun' shaped grip right on the tang area. With a SLUG

it really didn't recoil that much because of the weight. If you held it at the waist like it was tempting (one hand on forend and one on rear) it was nasty, but if you held it out like a really big handgun in a 'Weaver' stance, it was really not bad at all.

Hey, all these pics are great.

I could see a Crocodile Dundee in New York movie.... "That's not a gun, THIS is a gun."
