Whats the hardest kicking gun you ever fired?

[blueflash]

Shooting my rem 870 super mag with 2 oz Turkey loads through a x-tra full turkey choke....with the factory stock, hard rubber buttpad. I bought a limbsaver recoil pad after about a dozen shots, I said enough is enough.

My Rem mod 700 BDL in .300 win mag, with a factory rubber buttpad was a pretty sharp kicker also, but the 870 with turkey loads would shake your head so much,you felt almost concussed.

Hardest kicking gun I've ever fired was a Rem. 700 in .416 Remington. Was dumb enough to pull the trigger twice off a bench...Then I decided I was done

 

[Duncan Idaho]

I had one of the old economy line Rem 700 ADL in 30-06. Even with light loads, it kicked harder than any of the much bigger cannons I have used.

 

[Brutus]

Ferette 50 BMG with a 22 inch barrel on an AR lower receiver. (only 17 lbs!)

Ridiculous recoil, even with the factory muzzle brake.

Carl Gustaf anti tank, prone position in the Shilo desert....was pickin sand outa my face for days. Non hand held would have to be m109 SP 155 howitzer.

My H&R single shot 12 gauge. I bought it when I was 15 for $15.00.

I recently shot some Trap with it and man my shoulder remembered shooting ducks with the gun 50 years ago. The 500 S&W runs a close 2nd.

Take Care

I can somewhat relate... Never got to rock-n-roll with the Carl-G though, only maul it...

hand-held = .50AE Desert Eagle
non h/h = M101 105mm Howitzer

Husqvarna 1900 .300 win mag.

Super light gun, and snappy caliber. Recoil is not such a push, but more of a "snap" into your shoulder. I can fire about five rounds at the range before getting tense. A .458win ruger no1 was much easier.

With that said, I don't feel a thing when I shoot it at a deer.

So far was my mossberg 500A 18'' "slugster" barrel with a 3'' slug. Thought it would be interesting to shoot a box of slugs at the range.

 

[Jordan Smith]

Biggest push was the .450/400 3", but the sharpest punch was probably the 7STW in a sub-6lbs rifle.

3.5" 12gauge loads will get your attention, too.

Freakin' Maverick 88. 3" slugs out of the 18.5" barrel, good Lord. I had just put 50 2.75" target loads through my Browning semi-auto and thought I was "broken in", but that Mav left me plain "broken".

 

[angrysoldier]

barret 50 cal sniper rifle. bit of a kick to it..

 

[noneck180]

300 Win in a Weatherby Vanguard.

 

[dash77]

My dads 378 WBY mark V with no brake, off the bench. He said, "It kicks pretty good, you know, but ya gotta make the gun your #####!" Crazy old man.

 

[The Kurgan]

405 Grain hot-loaded 45-70. That sucker could have taken down a bull elephant.

 

[Bop67]

3'' Slugs through my Mav 88 Security, I've got a top folding stock on it, and GEEZ

 

[jayver]

700 BDL in 375 Rem Ultramag off the bench. Trying to sight it in the scope. Nasty recoil.

 

[ginseng503]

Both barrels of a 3" 12 gauge.

Yup, ina Ruger #3 to boot!!
CRAP that hurt!!
However, after I shortend the stock on Oldbadger's TRGs in 338 lapua, I didn't realize just how much recoil that rifle had, and it blackedn both my eyes!
Before that, he couldn't shoot it, but I did not mind the recoil of the standard length stock to much.
