Big Rifles

I was at the range yesterday shooting my new muzzle loader next to these 2 guys who were making some major noise. Found out that they were shooting a .416 Rigby scoped rifle w/ muzzle break (loud!) and a .470 Rigby double barrel rifle (also loud). This guy was kind enough to let me shoot the .470. It is the largest rifle with the biggest recoil that I've ever shot. I shot a .50 BMG at the range once but it has shock absorption built in so you don't really have any recoil to speak of. The .470 Rigby was a big thrill for me. How about you all? What's the biggest rifle or most recoil you've shot?

Mike
