I've seen several videos of the .500s now, and the power is awesome. The first problem I'll have is getting the extra $800-$1000 to get one, second problem will be convincing the wife to let me get it

EDIT: So was it established that the longer the barrel is on these, the more recoil it will generate due to more velocity being produced, or does it kind of even out on the longer barrels because of the extra weight?
