Corey, the 500 is a beast in weight even with the shorter barrel models. However, you are afforded rifle like power in a handgun and it will take any North American big game species. A bipod setup makes it much easier - youtube.com/watch?v=XxuCiEKBKtQ
At almost 5 pounds empty, and the muzzle brake, you should have no problem hunting with this firearm. That said, it will not be like shooting a 22. This pistol and cartridge are beasts.
Corey, This revolver is over 5 lbs. Heavy for a handgun, but lighter then most long guns you would use to harvest game.

This is about nearly 80 ounces!!! That’s heavy.its under 80 with no ammo. So it’s significantly more with heavy grain ammo.
