[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 803266, member: 711"] Three was one more than I could take with the NEF handi-rifle. First time I thought I must not have been holding it right. Second--last--time, I had a death grip on it and it still hurt--bad. This chambering in a light single shot is an answer without a question. Happily I am not the owner of that gun. Got nothing against the cartridge in a proper gun, and for big upset brown bears it would be nice If one didn't have a 106 recoilless rifle handy (always my gun of choice for anything that knows I'm not the top of the foodchain). I have seen, on this forum's classifieds, two NEF/500 Smith guns with 18 rounds for sale--been two or three years ago. Had the same thought as you. I have some big, hard kicking rifles, but nothing like the little NEF. It's worse than my Mosin Nagant 44 carbine with full house battle rounds, and that's not pleasant. All these are worse than my .338 Win Mag, and it's not a soft shooter either. The surprise is the .375 H&H. A pussycat. CB [/QUOTE]
