This thing is a beast as you can tell by the muzzle flip throwing the camera way up. In slow motion, it looks like whatever I shoot is getting pounded by a hellfire missile.
Quick vid I took of me vaporizing coffee capsules with a Wolverine 303 Hi Lite

Wow, that's some serious recoil Scott. Had no idea the .30 cal had a recoil like that? Thanks for posting.

Scott, I assume since you were using a scope camera you did not have much of a grip on the gun. Dies it effect you bad when actually shooting on your shoulder?
I am curious as I told Jimmy that my next rifle is going to be either a FX Boss or Daystate. I have both brands in .177 and .22 and absolutely love both manufactures.

The reason for the recoil was due to how I had it resting on a tackdriver bag. I was eventually able to reduce 50% of the recoil by moving the bag as far forward as possible. It was so freakin hot while shooting I wanted to capture some quick footage and get the heck out of there. I am going to add an Atlas bipod rail which shoot help.
Glad ad you guys enjoyed the vid. It really is a beast of a gun.

Guys,
I plan on doing quite a bit more shooting since the weather is forecast shows the temps coming down over the next week. I will post a write up and review of my findings, I'll also be filming some more once I find a way to keep the rifle stable so I can eliminate most of the recoil and muzzle flip.

Scott when did you pick up the .30 Wolverine? I've been reading your posts on your Wildcat. Did you get rid of the Wildcat for the Wolverine?

I sold the Wildcat a while back to use the funds towards a long distance shooter for the extreme benchrest. I just picked up the Wolverine this week off the classifieds here on AGN.

Chris, i was out bow hunting yesterday and did not ck the post until this morn. Definitely please bring the FX Boss. I intended to get one in the next year since I just bought the FXRoyal .22 last month. Being retired I need to slow down on spending a little. You know ...retired but still married! lol
I have a 100 yard benchrest setup and wanted a good 100 yd gun to look at doing the EB if I can appear to compete.
When we talked at the lunch at our last match, you and Joe seemed interested in a bench rest match at the club. So does Jimmy. I spoke to Chris B and he is open to the idea. Maybe we can get more formal on this at Will's this weekend. We coukd see hiw many others are into the idea. I and Jimmy already have the official tarfets we bought from the USARB.
And thanks for the volunteer of the ammo and gun my friend....
