From the same 'smith that built my long range rifle. ;D
From the gunsmith.....
How about recoil, well, with a clean muzzle, the 338 AX would be BRUTAL. Realize that this HANDGUN will drive the 300 gr SMK to 2650 fps with top end loads. When you realize that the Hodgdon load data for the 338 Lapua lists a top velocity of 2677 fps with the same bullet........
Yes, thats a Nightforce NXS in the four NF tactical scope rings. And yes, you can shoot this monster with nearly full field of view without getting your forhead tapped by the scope. I tend to shoot with a very relaxed hold on these handcannons so I always shoot with a 3/4 full view through the scope but I have shot with 100% full field of view with a solid hold and never had any fear of the scope getting friendly with me.
The big 5 port Painkiller muzzle brake takes care of all your recoil fears. In fact, recovery from recoil is good enough that I could spot my own shots at the test range at 1052 yards.
So what kind of accuracy do these big handcannons produce. Well. It shot a few three shot groups at 1052 yards that were under 3/4 moa and one group was easily 1/2 moa.
