Whats the hardest kicking gun you ever fired?

i tried to zero in a 7mm win mag for a friend.
that thing kicked like a horse.
i tried 5 rounds,lost my glasses and ear defenders each time
and a 1/2 lemon size welt on my jaw/cheek.

never again will i touch that rifle

How much did the rifle weigh? 5 LBS?

I do not find it to bad at all.
 
My son's Sako .338 win mag made an impression on me. At the range it didn't seem to bother him too much and I was impressed because it kinda kicked the crap outa me. However, he's young and I'm old.
 
Olie crap............Santa's gartzs a 45-70 for me.
Gonna maybe shewt it with no brow cutter awn it first.

Shawt Mr. H's 38-55 this summer owt in the bush.
One round wuzz nuff pour moi.
Skruntched uncomfurtably awn the'omemade bench and thet
metal butt playt pointy part in the cawllar bone.............fruck, that hert.
I almost seethed them werds he yewses...............................................................:runaway:
 
My Ithaca 20 gauge shotgun I bought with an extra-short butt stock someone had cut down for their wife. first time I shot that the recoil bounced my thumb off my nose and nearly broke it.

Haha did the same with a mossberg 510, tryed to hit a clay with it and crack, right in the shnozz. Fruckin hurt! A cut down cooey 84 with a slug would be the hardest kicker I've pulled the trigger on. Ouch

Old single barrel 10 gauge with 00Buck my friends granddaddy had...He didn't call it the howitzer for nothin! I was 12 years old I landed on my back, skip ass straight to back!

I have a single shot hammerless Ruko shotgun in the exact same chambering. Just had to try the Federal Premium 00 buckshot 3.5inch.
A friend of mine suspects this shotgun and this buckshot load, kicks more then a .458 Lott from a Ruger M77 Safari rifle.
 
.500 S&W Magnum I hate that gun.

Really, never shot one but my .460 is a pussycat. Lots of noise, flames, and concussion but recoil is totally fine what with the compensator which works great. Shooting it accurately is more a mental thing where you just have to ignore all the noise and such, when you do, it's great.
 
Buddy had a 45-120 Sharps Replica. Handloads...don't know exactly what. Metal butt plate. Shot off-hand. I had no idea what to expect. Got my attention right away as I rubbed my right shoulder. He laughed...I didn't.

I have a number of Mag caliber rifles...really don't mind heavy recoil except 338...they'll jam you.
