buddys dad has a 500 handi and he wont shoot it anymore due to the recoil. te sold it and got a 444. the 444 handi is a sweet little shooting rifle. it has been my primary hunting rifle for the past 3 years and will knock a whitetail in the dirt with a Hornady 265 gr lever revolouion but it soes kick a little more than my 270 but not that much just get a limbsaver recoil pad on it and you will be good to go.
