Looks like lots of conflicting info here...

My dad has an old .3006 bolt action that kicks about as powerfully as any gun I'd ever want to shoot. I don't want one that will be that bad.

I did know that gun weight and bullet weight affected the recoil, but there really seems to be some difference in opinion.

I wonder if it feels different in a bolt vs a semi-auto. What do you think?

Keep 'em all in the Bull.
