If you don't have a flinch NOW, maybe after this...

A sort of long video from Hambrusch, in Austria, showing a real masochist firing both three shots from a 700 Nitro bolt-action, and two shots from a 700 Nitro SxS. It looks like you get one hell of a belt from the SxS, and it doesn't just hurt in the shoulder; these rounds cost around $50 per shot.

Yup.... I'll have to start my next range session with .22's after watching that lol. All he needs now is a .700 Nitro revolver for his sidearm

 

[terry264]

LOL! He needs some tighter-fitting ear muffs for sure!

I have never seen a rifle cartridge that big before.

I have never seen a rifle cartridge that big before.

Because at this point it's artillery.

 

[cracked butt]

LOL. A dangerous game rifle for those that think a 30-378 is just about right for whitetail deer.

Am I the only one who though tthat the video was obnoxiously long?

I use a 7mm-08 and it does just fine...

You mean, it wasn't an infomecial???!?!???!?

If the guy in the video was a real man he would have fired both barrels on that double rifle at the same time.

Lightweight MT. Rifle..............NOT

Didn't watch long enough for the trigger to get pulled.Those shells are about the size of a dill pickle.

 

[Nortonics]

Reminds me of the 'shotgun from Hell' posted around these parts.

Gotta' like The Alan Parson Project playing in the background too - that'll date ya...

Actually, I was impressed at how well the shooter handled the .700 NE. He knew what he was doing and didn't get hurt or lose control of the rifle, something that happens often when shooting one of those monsters. However, the shooter runs the risk of a contrecoup brain injury if he shoots that rifle on a regular basis.

Am I the only one who though tthat the video was obnoxiously long?

No, you're not! That video could have been 1/3rd the length and still be as effective, and it would have saved a lot of bandwidth. The camera work left a lot to be desired also.

"these rounds cost around $50 per shot" being .70 caliber, wouldn't that make 'em Destructive Devices, with a high tax per shot?

 

[Don't Tread On Me]

That's a personal cannon.

"these rounds cost around $50 per shot" being .70 caliber, wouldn't that make 'em Destructive Devices, with a high tax per shot?

i believe theres a 200$ tax on the rifle. no tax on regular ammo. explosive, incindiary or other rounds would also have a 200$ tax PER SHOT!

 

[bill larry]

Did anyone else say a four letter word when they showed him loading the guns and then pointing them at the camera? I did!

Ordinarily, anything with a rifled bore over .50" is considered a DD, as is anything with an explosive payload, but ATF has exempted a number of these rounds (700 Nitro, 600 Nitro, and several others) from the DD class because they're considered sporting firearms.

I have to say, I'm amazed he didn't flinch on that third shot. I always found it hard to imagine someone dislocating their shoulder by firing a rifle, but after watching that video I can see how one could manage it.

Although the whole "load the rifle then point it at the cameraman" thing was definitely

You could put an eye out with that thang...
