>500 S&W NEF Handi Rifle?

Do any of you own the NEF Handi Rifle in .500 S&W caliber? I was wondering how it shoots, how much it kicks, and the approximate velocity and energy out of a 22 inch barrel? Which would be better in this rifle, the Marlin .450 or the S&W .500? Any information is appreciated.

    the Marlin 450 is far more powerful and longer ranging than the 500 S&W also the 450 ammo is much cheaper.
    hope this helps you decide.

    I have an NEF 500 SW. I bought it just to chrono some loads I'm marketing. this gun kicks like a mule with loads I can shoot out of my 8 3/8 inch SW500 revolver like candy. A real bruiser! BTW, I had to pay $299.00 for the gun--$80 over retail because it is allocated and rare. Overall its just a nice perfunctory gun. The stock wood could just as easily ended up as a 2x4 or something--nothing fancy.
