[QUOTE="Gcan, post: 1599844, member: 102867"] Worst ever? Rem 870 3-1/2” mag pump with turkey loads wearing a T-shirt. Way worse than Merkel .470 double. I Shot 3-1/2” mags two times. The second time was to see if I had screwed up in my form the first time. Nope! It sucked both times. Gun still basically new. Sits in safe like a vile of smallpox. I keep it for people who are really-really tough. They all cry. Glad to sell it to a really really tough guy. Second worst? Rem Sendero in 338 UM. No break. Mistake? Shot it off bench one time. Sent gun to Dave Tooley for break next day. Had rotator surgey week later. 1/2” pc of cartilage broken off inside shoulder. Both these produce 120 ft/lbs +/- recoil. Same as 458 win mag in 8lb gun. Exactly the same as being hit in the shoulder with a 16lb sledge hammer at 15mph. My BMG is a pussycat by comparison. Strange how you never feel or hear a shot fired in anger/hunting. Never got a scope ring tattoo in 65 years. Good thread. [/QUOTE]
