    My first thought when I saw the heading for this thread was What a waste of time.
    After seeing it I want one.
    I would mount a red dot or a 1-4 on it if it was mine.
    Might pay to get some good ear plugs.

    if gunworks are willing to do custom jobbie for it....give them a chance to do so. as for scope.....maybe something like a pig plex 1-5 loopy????
    shooternz makes AWESOME projectiles......by the time you have shot a hundred or so of them you will not be bothered casting your own,his prices are more than fair and they sure do the bizo at terminal end of things.

    damn it, I was watching that and was hopping it was going to relist. I would leave as open sights or stick a red dot on it- A mate who had one found he had to shoot it fast or he would flinch badly

    So I fired two shots with it (440gr). The recoil is noticeable - with the barrel break lever/trigger guard coming back and touching fingers gripping the pistol grip.

    Also the stock has split.....

    Good work to break a laminate stock you rough bugger. Must be milled out a bit in there. They do those in bigger rifle calibres than the 500 s/w so that's a bit odd really.
    EDIT: had a quick look online-you stock loos a bit modified. the proper factory ones have more meat in the pistol grip.

    shouldnt be too hard to get a replacement stock...personally I would go for solid/heavy one to assist with recoil and prevent it happening again.....

    looks impressive. Must have some push back to do that.
    The silencer will help with that
