585 Feral

The 585 Feral is a large calibre rifle designed by Mark Savage, Heath Hendrix and Smmands custom rifles. Mark owned a 585 Nyati and through pure lazyness decided to build a wildcat round. Instead of trimming the standard Bertram basic cases back he would use the full lengh case and design some Aussie Custom Projectiles to suit. The Bruno 602 Action was more than capable of handling this case. The Feral is able to fire a 750gr projectile at an astonishing 2700fps making it ideal for big game and cats. The Feral it is not for the faint hatred with a 26 inch barrel this 14 pound rifle has an approximate recoil of 176 ft-lbf that is the same as pulling the trigger on nine 30-06's at once or three .458 win mags at once. The Feral is the only one of its kind however with growing interest the owner is looking to build more in the future.
