Scope bite...

[X-fan]

Have been hit 13 times now from big bores and have went thru 3 mild concussions from them. Last one was the worst,378 WBY and I took the brake off it cause every one else was to scared to and promptly took a 6 power redfield full front and center to the center of the forehead. Asked for the rest of the 19 rounds and fired them from a kneeling position then they took me to the hospital . Had to wipe the blood away from my eyes for each shot but got thru it.

I have some permanent deep scars in my forehead and now a few years later in life I am starting to suffer from some vision problems which have been associated to getting cranked in my fore head a few to many times.

LMAO!

Your sir are my kind of people...
It takes a special guy to take an ugly lamping from a 378 and then come back for 19 more!...Love it

FWIW I can't imagine a harder smack than a 378.

well not exactly
it did happen while hunting though, lets just say that when trying to drag a heavy objects (like a deer carcas) all sharp objects (like knifes, hatchets or ehem mechetes) should not be in the hands, especially when its raining and wet


its definitly an idiot mark

LMAO twice in a row!

A perfect addition to the gallery!

Is a 378 worse than a 1 oz 12 ga slug?

A shotgun is nothing compared to a 378Wby.
The shotgun has a low velocity push.

The 378 only pushes a 300 grain bullet, but it delivers that bullet at a nasty 3150fps.
The explosively quick recoil velocity is something that needs to be seen to be understood.
Get you knuckle behind the bolt handle and it will rip it to the bone and leave the meat hanging (seen it done).
Fail to get your shoulder behind the stock and at the very least plan for stitches....There will be no gentle bump.

Pretty much anyone can shoot a slugged shotgun prone.
A 378Wby on the other hand is best not handed to beginners....Unless you don't like them.

Don't forget the energy of the bullet is determined by velocity X velocity X bullet weight.

The rifle and you have to absorb that bullet energy.
