I agree, the Alaskan is pretty comfortable for me to shoot. I’ve had all sorts of big bores up to the .454 Casull in a Freedom Arms 83. The .454 in a 6” is a real heavy hitter on both ends.

I can’t handle heavy recoil anymore and wouldn’t feel undergunnned by any means with a .44 Magnum with good hard cast loads. A 310 grain hard cast at 1100 fps will punch a hole through both sides of a big boar.
