I have a .460 weatherby mag on a custom ruger number 1 tropical. Great little plinker.

LOL. I heard that the shooting sequence with the .460 Weatherby goes something like this:

Naww it ain't that bad....:o).......LOL !

The worst recoil I ever experienced was a Daisy built/designed AMAC .50 caliber sniper rifle that had a piss poor recoil brake (read zero effective). I actually thought that the squishy grey part of my brain had seperated from the thick skull I carried it in. I was a hurting pup. Pain defined.

The Ruger No 1 I have was originally a .458 Win Mag according to the factory rep I shared the serial number with. Someone between me and the factory had it rechambered and I added whitworth sights to it.

It is actually a very accurate rifle and the recoil is manageable. Albeit nothing one will shoot from a bench all day long unless they just want to tatto their sholder from the inside out.

Stay Safe !
