What does .50 caliber recoil feel like?

Much of the recoil in both the .50 BMG and .416 Barrett is reduced by the muzzle brake. The main spring and the barrel springs in the 82A1® reduce the recoil even more. Our large caliber rifles all weigh over 20 pounds which also helps to reduce recoil. While this is a very frequently asked question, even novice shooters do not find the recoil to be objectionable. The “feel” is more of a rapid push than a sharp kick.
