[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2899425, member: 109862"] Man you mention the weight thing…to date the hardest kick I’ve taken has without question been from light 12 guage shotguns shooting heavy loads. .358 Norma and .375 Hh aren’t even close to that punishment. I read somewhere that a typical weight pump action 12 guage shooting the real heavy 3.5” turkey shells generates more foot pounds of recoil AND at a much faster recoil impulse velocity than a typical weight bolt rifle chambered in .458 win mag. But for most hunters and shooters a big bore safari rifle inspires awe and fear, like it’s a whole other animal. And a shotgun is familiar, just another tool haha. All this to say…there are droves of men who take more of a beating to hunt A BIRD that isn’t even that good at flying than they’d take to hunt the largest walking animal on this planet 🤣🤣🤣🤣 If the aliens are indeed watching us they must have some questions… [/QUOTE]
