[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1547358, member: 33915"] While there is truth to that statement but I promise you in my situation felt recoil isn't that bad at all. I have shot guns all my life and though I am used to a gun that has some recoil I haven't built up any immumity to it. I'm about to turn 69 and if the wind blows hard I feel it. That said, I'm not shooting heavy per caliber bullets either. I'm shooting a 143 gn bullet but it's flying at 3523 FPS. But I'm working on getting them to fly a little faster. I ordered some powder that should spin them up to 3600 something. I feel like it ought to kick hard and I really expected it to before I bought it but it just don't. My 06 thumps me harder than it does! If I had one of those old buttpads on it like I had in the corps that was steel or even one of those old nylon but pads I think it might hurt. But with the buttpad it came with I feel no pain and no serious push back. If you came here and fired it I think you would be suprised as well and your very welcome to come do that if you ever find your way to NC. Like I said I shot a model Remington 1100 semiauto shotgun which is only about a year old a few weeks back.
