[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 523701, member: 30902"] Unless you are a very big man you'll find that anything under 14lbs is probably not going to be a lot of fun to shoot in that caliber. If at all possible find someone in your area who will let you shoot their's before you commit and decide on barrel diameter etc. 43lbs of recoil energy is a lot. Most people cannot tolerate more than 15lbs comfortably. A heavier package reduces felt recoil considerably because it's a greater mass that has to be moved. [URL]http://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm[/URL] Not trying to scare you off by any means just trying to inform. An experienced shooter between 200-250lbs or more isn't going to have much issue with it, but without the right setup, a guy/gal who's 150lbs dripping wet isn't likely to go more than two or three shots before starting to flinch.
