Yep 400gr at 2300fps will recoil. I've got to watch my hand placement or else I get a thumb in the lip! Glad there is no scope on it or I would have got myself a few times.
After watching the 416 Rigby bite I was real careful shooting the 450 Rigby, I could barely see through the scope I had my head so far back.
