    avoiding ear damage with powerful rifles

    Just do it without the brake if you are worried about hearing. Better yet, stick a suppressor on it. The .50 is painful, to say the least, but it won't do any permanent damage to your shoulder. People shoot Safari rifles offhand, and those have similar recoil energy in an 8 pound rifle. I...

    MechTech CCU .460

    I've shot the XD version in 460 Rowland, and would highly recommend that. The 1911 one is also very good according to the person I borrowed the XD CCU from.

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Hey all, I've browsed around the forum for a while, and I actually bought my own guns (been shooting for a while before that) so I figured I might as well register. I have a 1911, a Howa 1500, and an Ithaca 37 that I bought, and a SCAR-17, an AR-15, a P229 and Benelli M4 Super 90 that my...
