My BB gun kicks like a mule

The heavier the gun, the less kick. The more powder and bullet weight, the more kick.

It would have to be a 22 RF or the new 17 Hornady.

Do you wish to re-phrase the question?

Yeah, you need to re-phrase, the BB gun .17 and .22 are non-kickers, but would not be worth a crap for big game shooting. The .243 and .260 are really light recoilers that are great for whitetail size game. For shooting critters that tend to want to bite back though, I wouldn' t consider a .300 magnum to be too hard of a kicker!
