[QUOTE="camodave7, post: 2198531, member: 118707"] The hardest kicking gun I have ever fired was a Browning single shot in 45/70. My friend Tom bought it just because he could. It had an octagon 22 inch barrel and a crescent butt plate and was to die for. I fired 3 shots with it, relatively mild factory ammo, handed it back to him and told him I never wanted to see that gun again. Years later, after Tom died at the tender age of 58, I asked a mutual friend if Tom had left the gun to him and he said, "Nope. He fired about 3 shots out of it and sold it". Just the other day a gentleman took me to task about recoil measurement. That leaves out a huge component of dealing with recoil. Metal crescent buttplate in a bigger bore with lots of drop of the stock and a shortish barrel with not a lot of weight. I gave that gun back and Tom sold it because firing it HURT! [/QUOTE]
