A sentiment with which I am in complete accord!  And I have a mean kicking .450 Rigby Rimless that is my go-to rifle in Africa but let me tell you, I sure as Hell don't shoot it off a bench any more.  Maybe one shot in camp to make sure it's still sighted in but other than that I stand on my hind legs like a man.  I've had enough pain in my life without wanting to acquire any more, thank-you very much.

'Get used to it'  . . . in a pig's eye!
