Well I'm not recoil shy by any means , I do do 60 to 80 round sessions at the range with the ruger 300 mag on a regular basis ( rounds wt. 150 to 220 gr) I also have put hundreds of rounds down range in a day out of my old porteguise palace gaurds 8mm mauser and it only hurts when i lean to far into it and it contacts my collar bone on firing YEAH ! that smarts ...
I was helping my ex-brother in law sight in a Rossi single shot in 30-06 that my brother got him for Christmas a couple years back ( he bought a couple boxes of what wally world had left 180 gr)
And in all honesty boys that light crappy stocked gun got my attn. a good example of stock fit and function and felt recoil ( my rem 7600 gets shot all the time working up reloads) and is a far cry from that lil gun , another reason i traded that one i had in 7.62x39 that i had bought for my twin neices to learn on since it was just as bad recoil wise as a 243 or maybe a 308 in recoil.
I would have to agree with some of the boys .. Those Safari-Loads in the 45-70 can ring your bell .. But my worst recoil experince was 3" rifled slug shells loaded in both barrels of my stage coach SxS shottie and (I meant too
) letting both barrels go at the same time , yeah its one of those with a hard plastic butt plate ... Yeah that got my full undevided attn. hehehe
But i needed to know what it would be like should both tubes go by accident ( oh those were 3" remmie 1 oz shells for the record)
Default
Saw you post before i was done Tim , Yup have seen that one on you tube
You can pretty much look at how their posture is when holding the rifle in the fire ready position and know its gonna be ugly
All I can saw is " THAT POOR DAMN RIFLE " HAHA
