Whats the hardest kicking gun you ever fired?

My fabarm with a 14" barrel from the bench kicks pretty good with 3 inch slugs but it's totally bearable. My buddy has a browning pump shotgun, it ejects from the bottom. Anyways the shape of the stock kills my cheekbone. I fired one slug from it and almost had tears in my eyes.

I will be picking up a marlin guide gun in 45-70 as soon as I can find one, and will load up some hot loads. Immlookin forward to see how hard it kicks.
 
Heh, steel butt-plated 30-30 when I was 12... I remember wondering how people could shoot them more then once. Now I don't really notice it out of the same gun.

Since then, haven't really shot anything harder then a 308.
 
oh yeah, forgot.....

pistol grip 12ga defender with 3" magnums really belts the hand
 
A friend of mine has a NEF single shot 10 guage...yikes that thing hurts. My ruger no.1 4570 with 500 grain loads bangs out around a bit!
 
federal premium 3" 1 3/4 oz magnum #2's. Turkey loads. wow.. just wow. The kent 1 5/8oz, 2 3/4" loads hurt out of my hard plated ithaca short shotgun too.

I have a 45-70 and load warm and the shotguns still win.
 
Benelli Super Nova with really hot 3 1/2" Turkey loads off the bench.

I don't know if you have ever fired shells that blow the action on a pump action shotgun halfway open after every shot, but I have, and holy **** it is a huge blast.


Funny thing is I thought that that was such a laugh that I filled the tube with 8 shots and pumped them off as fast as I could. The bruises stayed with me for a good month.
 
Well in rifles... the double barrel shotgun I was handed when I was 9 or so... my shoulder was bruised for a week+ (I had zero exp w/it)

For overall though my Wildey with nitro powered carts... makes the shotgun look lame... very wicked.
 
My Savage Model 111F .300 RUM did nothing but abuse me till the day I traded it off...6lbs and a rubber hockey puck recoil pad...screw that. Why in the hell I thought I ever needed a 300 RUM is beyond me.
 
My .378 wby on a Brno 602 with the 1972 circa stock shooting the 350gr. barnes originals over a few teaspoons of h4831.
P.S> Anyone have one of those early style 602 stocks (with the rose tip forend) for sale?
I need one for my .500 A-Square project rifle.
 
Well, this might sound Uber Ghey to all the hunters and Ancient CF people on the board but my experience was a toss up between a 30.06 mountain rifle, can't remember the make and your regular old Lee Enfield surplus .303. The McBro's .50 with suppressor deserves honorably mention.
