Whats the hardest kicking gun you ever fired?

The hardest kick I received was from a friends 577 Tyrannosaur. That gun will straighten any kinks in your back, or put some that you never had before in. LOL. The most painful was my fathers 7mm RM. He bubba'd the stock by sawing it shorter and gluing some baler belt on for a pad. That wasn't the bad part. When he sawed it off he cut at an angle so that it was comfortable for him being he is left handed. Well I shoot right handed and it tries to amputate your shoulder with the edge of the baler belt. LOL.
 
some have rocked my good a left a huge grin on my face but the worst (it was my own stupidity) was my 458 win mag with 510gr bullets for the first time i shot it once and it went back in its case this was 2 days after i got my chest tattooed and right where a stock sits in you're shoulder
 
A 12 ga pump with 3 inch mag bounced me so hard once my friend immediately asked if I was OK. It whipped my head back so hard that for a few seconds I thought I'd damaged my spine.
A 416 Rigby was a slow, hard kicker that knocked me out from under my glasses, but it wasn't a painfull kick.
My Marlin 45/70 lever with heavy loads is nicknamed Flinch for good reason.
 
Hardest kick is my Ruger 77 in .338 Win Mag that I shot today for the first time. Not uncomfortable, just hardest.

Most uncomfortable is my Enfield No.4 Mk.1 sporter, it fits me so poorly that it hurts to shoot, even though the actual recoil is not that bad. A close second was a Dominion Arms Outlaw with the stock hockey puck recoil pad, shooting 3" magnum slugs. Two rounds gave me a headache...

.340 Weatherby magnum was the largest rifle cartidge I ever shot. I can't say it was the hardest kicking, but certainly the loudest. I had just shot my moose with my .30-06 and wanted to try my bud's .340 who was close by to me at the time. My other buds who were at quite a distance from us (several kilometers) did not hear the .30-06 fire, but did hear the .340 test shot I took and then prepared to come and help us with moosy!:D
 
A single trigger custom double 470 NE based on a Browning shotgun frame that doubled -- plus the fact it was an ill fitting rifle --- only the brim of my ball cap prevented even a nastier bump on the forehead and a bloodier nose.

The lesson to be learned is to wear a hockey helmet when test firing. LOL

LOL!

I used to shoot a buddies B-78 Browning with a metal butt plate with 510 grain cast....Laughs by the hour!
If you didn't hold the rifle perfectly the air would turn blue and you would do a little dance. :D

What a nasty rifle BTW.
 
Marlin Goose Gun running with 3" magnums. 1st shotgun I ever fired; hunted with it when I was 13, it was the only shotgun we had. Dad had me convinced that it didn't kick. Shot it happily til I tried a friends Cooey single shot next fall, it seemed docile compared.
After that baptismal, the normal centerfires; .303's, .308's, 30-06 and such...were nothing at all.
Question is do I thank him for it or not? My kick tolerance is pretty high because of him I suppose.
 
300 Weatherby Mag

Bought a barrelled action only in 300 Weatherby Mag and then mounted it on a synthetic Macmillan stock (if remember correctly), very light rifle Took it to the range on a nice warm day where everybody was wearing T-shirts. I took about six shots and I had enough. I thought maybe it was me, so I asked if anybody else would like to shoot it, they did, but after two three shots they also found it unpleasant. I ended up selling it
