    A guy who calls himself Sasquatch can probably handle the kick unless it's one of those ironic names

    Cal is 45-70. Rifle kicks quite abit mainly due to it's total weight being 2.5kg

    The recoil isn't terribly painful tho due to the awesome rubber butt pad and "WiFi" dampeners lol

    I'm yet to test this on flesh yet, I'm hearing good reports about the 325gr Hornady leverolution ammo which I'm using for this rifle.

    @308mate Guy on trade me makes all sorts of leather belts, slings etc. I just sent him the dimensions I wanted and he made it to fit. He made the cobra sling too which looks great on this rifle.

    John Leth is his name.
