This gun shooting stuff is rough - LOL
LOL...get your shoulder broken a few times and dislocated several times and you might just change that tune. I own several shoulder busters that have made grown men sit down and cry. Recoil can be nasty from several magnum cartridges depending on the weight of the rifle and stock design. Take my .300WM barrel on my TC... If it weren't for the limbsaver tech in that sucker, I surely wouldn't want to shoot it because the platform is light. And it STILL isn't a enjoyable rifle to sit at the bench with. The problem with heavy recoil magnums, in my opinion anyway, is that very few people will sit at the bench and practice anywhere NEAR as much as they SHOULD. If they do, they tend to develop a flinch.
