Whats the hardest kicking gun you ever fired?

[Brutus]

M37 Ithaca 20 gauge, using the fully rifled barrel and Winchester Supreme Partition Gold sabot slugs.
A 260 grain .451 bullet moving at 1900 fps out of a 5.5 pound shotgun.
It gets your attention forthwith!

Ruger No 3 in 45/70 was very unpleasant to shoot because of carbine stock design, however the Ruger No 1 in 45/70 was quite pleasant to shoot

12 gauge 3.5" full loads are just killer.

My vote yes.. it hurt

 

[chadeech]

Maverick 88 12 gauge 18.5 barrel original buttplate magnum 3 "slugs

The old Lad's 3&1/2" 12 guage with heavy turkey loads..... what a bast%^& . It makes my soul hurt it kicks so hard... His stock is also about 3" too long for me. I'll take my 10guage over the 3&1/2" 12 any day!

 

[neal]

Double barrel 12 gauge with 3" slugs when both barrels went off instead of one.

 

[TyK]

12ga 12" singleshot backpacker with 3" slugs... Practically knocked me cross-eyed! Definitely doesn't help that the recoil pad feels like a hockey puck haha.

I've done a belt of .50 and yeah, it's tripod mounted, you'll barely feel a thing.

My buddy and were about 18 and he had bought a model 70 in 300 win mag. He had mounted a scope on the rifle and we went to the gravel pit to shoot it for the first time. I had never shot from a scope before and got real close to it for the first shot. I thought i had shot myself in the face. I returned to my single shot 22 for some time after that.

Tikka M65 with European Straight Stock in 7mm mag....went to the range with 20 rounds....came home with minced beef for a shoulder.

That stupid KSG

 

[redryder]

Sporterized .303 Jungle Carbine. Just a frickn joke. Somebody gave it to me and I just got rid of it last week.Thank dog. Its now rusting away in the bottom of some guys boat north of 60. And probably still killing moose every chance it gets.

ruger no1 416 rigby ,made my eyes water after 10 rounds,the other gun i hated was a marlin cowboy shooting 400 gr hot loads both went the way of the dodo

 

[wolfhowlsatmoon]

10 gauge side by side, old spanish double with two triggers, 3.5" goose load showed me what recoil was, the next shot hit so hard i accidentally hit the second trigger, gun went vertical and i punched my self mighty hard.

[incorrigible]

458 Mag when I was about 15. My friend and I snuck it out and it quite literally knocked me on my @ss at the time.

The choice changes with time. I had a 460 Weatherby that was stout, a 308 Norma in a BSA light with a steel butt plate (who in there right mind would order that?), and as a kid, a Cooey 12 ga. 3 " single.

 

[yorgi]

Not the hardest-kicking gauge but Federal 3" slugs out of a stock Browning BPS did it for me... Original stock was way too long and high for me, every trigger pull resulted in a bruised shoulder and a serious rap to the cheekbone.

 

[MiG25]

I shot a 270 once.
