I agree! I’m impressed

After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel kzread.infoUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!

Harold Johnson was my grandfather. I have shot several of the original .50 Alaskans as well as the .450 Alaskan. They are both truly amazing rifles. Thank you for sharing about him.

+Eric Johnson...quite fascinating indeed. I'm honored to hear from you sir. these lever actions are probably the best dangerous game rifles though for close range and do hold 7 - 8 rounds & certainly will last a life time if not abused or fed high pressured hyper velocities ammunition now available. mine was built by Ben Forkin custom classics. wish mr Harold could see haw popular his cartridges came to be with folks like me displaying such rifles for people to witness. Thanks AVI

Omg his reaction to the first shot had me cracking the F×€# up !!!

His reaction to that first round was priceless! Having a 45/70, I can only imagine what that 50 must kick like. First one is an eye opener! 😂😂😂🤣

He looks so happy after shooting the first four rounds. I like his videos

Loading like his life depends on it

He scares me the way he shoots lol

This man is having a blast shooting. You got to love the excitement. It's always a good day when you get some target shooting in. Good video

everytime he shot ......my shoulder hurt.... good video

That's a badass little rifle. I've never even heard of .50 alaskan before this. Nice vid.

Dont mess with a man that can have a rifle throw him around like that and come away smiling.

Your face the first round is relatable. Better than a roller coaster, feeling that kick off a high caliber cartridge. Handled it like a boss, too. First video I've seen from you, I'm off to see more. Thanks!

I love you man ! Your style is cool ! Reloading, shooting and reaction to recoil are just priceless .👍👏

This is the most straightforward gun video on KZread.

You sure can handle the heavies. Great videos Avi! I can watch them over and over and never get bored of seeing your collection.

If I used that gun to shoot Alaskan brown bear I would only take one bullet with me. After shooting the bear both of us would hit the ground. The one that can get up off the ground first would be the winner.

i friggin love this guys vids! keep them coming!!!!

Your stuff is so cool Avi, please keep em coming

Thank you for the video. Great review, now I have something to look forward to when the 45-70 get too weak.

I think he was ready to say ouch, but held it back. What a man!

The way he reacted to the first couple shots... somebody give this man an Oscar ;D

May I say Avi that I commend you for making such entertaining and well researched videos. Thank you.

Definitely made for big game. What recoil! Good video to let us know about big guns.. repeating lever action can get things done. I have a Henry big boy All Weather repeating rifle chambered in.357mag/.38spl.. sweet action. Packing Hornady 140gr FTX 357.Mag. in my chamber.. plenty of power for 4 legged and 2 if needed to protect my family/house if need be. Blue.

2:10 You can see his entire torso jiggling from recoil-related soft tissue damage. I think the phone book took less of a beating than that poor guy’s shoulder.

Love his videos-8 years later though, his shoulder must still hurt!

I need to stop watching KZread. It just costs me money buying the guns i see in a video lol

Beautiful rifle!!! Looks like it has a little kick to it Great vid!!

This guy gives off serious italian grandpa vibes

Fun video. I was not aware of this cartridge. Thank you.

good video. good information. thanks!

Ahhh... another great, no mess around video clip. 👍 shoulder made of steel mate. Lol...

glad I found your channel, you make cool vids about something I have a passion for, HEAVY lead. thus my love for 12 gauge shotgun slugs! SUBBED!

My favorite camp security in grizz country is a H&R single shot SB2 with rifled barrel and 3 inch Brenneke Magnum Crush slugs. I can switch out for bird shot and take a rabbit or partridge if need be.

That's a really good video! Thanks.

This made my day! Thank you! 😊

You’re a brave man! Cheers!

Very well produced video. Man you can take a LOT of recoil!!

Would love to have one of these!

Awesome gun

Keep up the great work you make short and sweet videos and you get to shooting the gun fast instead of talking great work

another excellent video make me want one !!

Enjoy your channel excellent work consistently and myself I'm a big bore fan as well. Good shooting sir.

Could you possibly do a video on the .450 Alaskan? I own a .450 Alaskan rebarelled model 71, 21 inch barrel with lyman peep sights, my father purchased this rifle while we lived in Alaska in the 60s and 70s, he carried this Winchester every time we went gold panning or salmon fishing on many rivers, now I have it, and for a few years, im 65 now and I still roll with it like you do, im 6’5” and about 250 lbs so im very capable of shooting big bore rifles, I have not found a video of anyone shooting or even talking about the .450 Alaskan, people should learn about thier capabilities ect, i have Reeds custom ammo and research load my ammo and often load my own, i find reeds to be awesome and dependable, they have always been consistent and the velocitys are hot and shake your eyeballs abit lol, thank you sir for your dedication to shooting and reading this, god bless you my friend

It's April 15th 2022, I'm looking out my window at the fresh snow, i spy a dinosaur track in my yard: therefore i must have a .50 Alaskan!

Did you see he kind of laughed or smiled after the first four shots I'm still rolling great video got me interested one

Great video

I wished that this good man still uploaded shooting vids.

To state the obvious recoil does not go unnoticed.

I have been having my local smith create a 50 AE lever action carbine for me. The 50 alaskan is awesome but i love pistol caliber carbines.

God that looks like fun!

Can't imagine shooting one of these. My .45-70 makes me a little anxious. Had a custom Pachmayr shotgun recoil pad fitted to my Marlin Cowboy.

Very nice!

Like your videos. Solids penetrate better. Woodleighs are also good.

I'm surprised the Woodleighs fragmented so much. Great video!

I was going to ask "why so tense?" 🤣🤣 But then I saw he was shooting 650 grain bullets. I guess that would be enough to make anybody a little tense hahaha.

Good job

Very ethical for Jackrabbits.

Nice gun :D

you ok bro? lol that 50. looked like it rocked you something Fierce, Props bro

ahead of your time. you live forever

I would LOVE to see a .50 AE lever action rifle!

Your movement are frantic

Nice vid. Nice guy. But I don't understand why you would not let the magazine tube run the full length of the barrel. What are the pros and cons with a full length and a reduced length magazine?

He looks so squirrely sitting there after shooting. or scared LOL

Excellent in subsonic with with suppressor

very cool!

You are pretty tough shooting that rig with only a t shirt.♠️

I like his videos

Damn ...my 444 Marlin kicks enough......

This is one tough old guy i don't feel sorry for robbers.

Hello Sir I'm trying to find a quality ammo producer for the 50 Alaskan and 50 110. Do you know any producers where I can get with 5000ftps plus for the big 5

good vid

that heavy slug tumbled

Wonder how much more that Marlin can handle before busting. By my research, it seems the 1892 John Browning actions were the strongest. One example is the less refined Rossi R92 Puma, which for a while they chambered the .454 Casull which maxes out at 60,000+ psi. The .50 Alaskan much be running pressures in the 30-40,000 psi range?

Are the rifle and the cartridge still manufactured or are they obsolete ?

Nice gun.

Hello Avi @ 1tufgun: You don't appear to be a small framed guy, yet I thought I saw you noticeably compensate to maintain your balance by leaning forward with your off-hand stance during the first four shots using the Woodleigh 500-grain Copper Jacketed 90% Copper/10% Zinc hybrid varietals leaving the muzzle at ~1,700 F.P.S. as the video was forward perspective orientated; but the second barrage using the Reece's 650-grain Flat Nose Lead varietals was perspective oriented from behind the shooter and although you were still noticeably "rocked" it was hard to compare the punishment between ammunition types as I would typically expect the heavier grain ammo to boot just that little bit extra, except those were just old fashioned lead rounds that I couldn’t find any information on. I did notice MIDWAY sells the Woodleigh in boxes of 25-each for $32.99 which is kind of cool as most rifle ammo is sold in boxes of 20-each. Still, it looks like a bit much for a late bloomer such as myself, so I’ll just have to stay put and be happy with my 45-70’s. So after firing 8-rounds of .51 bullet diameter ammo, how did the shoulder look about two days later, were you still able to easily reach the top shelf of the kitchen’s pantry? Avi, you are as tough as nails.

The .348 Winchester cartridge case was derived from a .50 caliber black powder cartridge. So really, it is just returning to its own beginning. Funny how life moves in circles.

Did you get that gun built from the ground up or did you supply the rifle and he converted it? Ps you’re great

I was hoping he would say it's perfect for the most dangerous game - *humans*

How do they compare to a 12 guadge slug as to recoil

Wait a minute. I have that exact shirt, nice.

Gotta love it. Makes the .500 S&W look like a bitch.

i would love to have this caliber in a BFR

got a little nerve twich going on . but good video, if i ever go elephant hunting in alaska im going to watch this again

Is it me or am I watching two different personalities on camera lol. Homie can switch to shooting mode in a instant

That had to be the most awkward looking shooting I’ve ever seen, but this dude is still awesome.
