A guy who calls himself Sasquatch can probably handle the kick unless it's one of those ironic names

Cool that it has wifi.
Update FB between shots

Cal is 45-70. Rifle kicks quite abit mainly due to it's total weight being 2.5kg

The recoil isn't terribly painful tho due to the awesome rubber butt pad and "WiFi" dampeners lol

I'm yet to test this on flesh yet, I'm hearing good reports about the 325gr Hornady leverolution ammo which I'm using for this rifle.

@Sasquatch are you going to suppress it? Does the foresight just unscrew? That thing would look awesome with a DPT overbarrel and probably reduce the kick a fair bit I bet too!

@308mate Guy on trade me makes all sorts of leather belts, slings etc. I just sent him the dimensions I wanted and he made it to fit. He made the cobra sling too which looks great on this rifle.

John Leth is his name.

I had an older model short barrelled Encore (pre WiFi), chambered in .450 Marlin. It was nasty.. along with those same 325gr flexitips I loaded 500gr copper GS hollow points for it. it putt big holes in everything..

@308mate will probably keep it in it's original config. Williams front sight and rear aperture are very fun to shoot with.

Your not wrong tho, would look pretty rad with a can on it.

A couple new rifles for me. Traded my 6.5x55 t3 for a 308 t3 from @Gapped axe ( cheers for that) straight to the chop shop for a 16'' hair cut. Much more usable length rifle for me. Running the 1-6 vortex for now as that's what I have. Magnification is perfect for me would like to go lighter one day.

Top rifle is Kimber Montana in 223. Also 16'' chop with magnum suppressor. My new favorite.
