Just picked up a 375H&H Mag!

Especially on hard kickers.

My 416 Rigby did touch me once. I was holding it like a 22 instead of a serious rifle. Pretty much let it free-recoil. Just brushed the bridge of my nose. Had I been holding it like a grown up it wouldn't have come close.

Now, if you want to see people get scoped you should hang out on the rifle range at Depot. Those old Weavers and Redfields count coup at least once every week. So many noobs, so many scope cuts.

Did exactly the same thing once with my #1 son's un-braked 30-378 Sako 995. He's a hell of a good shot, but missed one at a stupid long range. Vowing to myself to win this one I held it light because tensing up too much doesn't help my precision shooting. There were three spectators, and after the shot they were whoopin' and hollerin' at the hit while I was picking myself off the ground with blood pouring down my stupid face. Believe it or not I still consider it to be a real happy moment.
