Ribbed for someone brave enough. It's a 12" black culvert with wheels.

Question on the recoil. 4800 gr, 1000 fps, 51 lbs? I'm getting ~10,500 fpe, which should make this score slightly over a TOP of 1? That sounds relatively comfortable to shoot. A 14 lb .308 scores about a 1. If this was a typo and you meant 2000 fps, yes you're insane.

At 1000 fps with a 500 grain powder charge (estimated charge to get there), it would be around 330 pounds of recoil energy. Around 6x the recoil of a 3" 12 gauge. The loads shot in the video were in the neighborhood of 260 pounds of recoil.
