Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

Whats the hardest kicking gun you've ever shot and what size bullet was it? So far for me is my Mossberg 835 with 3.5" Mags

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

7 mag

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

Id say its a toss up between a 3 1/2 inch Charles Daley pump shotgun, or my father in laws, .350 Remington Magnum, in a custon shop Model 7 synthetic Remington rifle, it only weighs 6 1/4 lbs, and will pound you.

.300 weatherby mag......

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

a very light .300 mag=

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

New England single shot 10 guage. Damn thing knocked me on my ass. Despite the fact I was only 9 years old I still remember it like yesterday.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

Same here I had a nef single shot while I was very young, I used to dread when a bird would fly up................ bruises like nobodys business.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

My .470 NE kicks pretty good. I load it with a 500 gr Woodleigh.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

i would have to 3 1/2 inch ten guage is hard to beat

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

.308 Norma Magnum--that gun literally hurt--real bad!!!

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

Winchester x-150, 90 grains pyrodex RS, 385 grain great plains bullet and the 4oz aluminum ramrod :(:(.. It put me on my butt.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

338 win mag with some pretty hot hand loads. Sometime soon I hope to shoot my uncle's 30-378 weatherby.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

.58 caliber 1863 springfield reproduction musket with ALOT of powder, the thing weighed about 16lbs and had a long barrel but still knocked me on my rear end and left a HUGE bruise on my should thru the 3 shirts i had on. i was 12 at the time...but never felt a harder kick than that

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

416 Rigby with 400 gr NP...never again[:@]

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

My dad's old Winchester 12 ga...well maybe not so much the gun....

I was 13 at the time, andhad gone out dove hunting and was low on shells, so I grabbed a couple extra off the gun rack. The last one I shot, which obliterated the dove, turned out to be a 00 buck 3" high base shell. The whole time I was trying to relax when I shot, because I would pull too much from being too stiff. Well, when I shot that last shell, I relaxed too much. When I shot,I felt my shoulder slide out of socket and back. I almost dropped the gun after I shot. All I could do was let my arm hang and try not to breath because it hurt so much. I was sore for a couple of weeks after that.

The school of hard knocks was definitely in session that day!

.45-70

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

An old single shot 10 gauge for goose! Had a solid plastic but plate, boy that thing sucked!

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

.348 Winchester for shoulder fired that is

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

120mm smoothbore on an M1-A1 with service round sabots. Rifle wise, likely the Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle @ Ft. Campbell and .338 civilian wise.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

It would have to be between a 10 ga. single shot with 3-1/2” shells or 338 Win. Mag...

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

I shot a 30-06 when I was 11, I never shot one again.
Now, me and my dad go to the gym, and muscles serve as nature's recoil pad!:D

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

.450 Marlin with Hornady 350 grain round nose. Much worse than a 338 Mag.

Close second would be 12 ga 3" Magnum Buckshot.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

I think the worst I ever did was pull both triggers on an old 12 gauge side by side.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

Mine is the gun I shoot now a Mossberg 5500 with 3" shells. Doesn't really kick that hard, but that has beenthe hardest for me.

300wsm

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

90gr and a 385 GP is enough, but... adding a ramrod has got to hurt.

Stoutest recoil I've experienced? Prob 3" 000 buck in my 870; a 3" turkey load in a friend's lightweigh O/U. I've shot a lot of .50 muzzleloader and 30-06, and they're not close to a load of 12GA buckshot.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

Slugs out of my dad's 12 gauge. I don't rifle hunt so I haven't shot those big calibers.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

Its a toss between 300 win mag and 308

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

.308? How can a .308 compare to a 300 Win. Mag? Were you 4 when you shot the .308 or something?:DOr do you weigh 60 pounds?

No offense.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

I got12 bolt action made by some gunsmith in Delaware my buddy knows
amd that thing kicks like a mule!

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

Thats easy...its my 54 caliber Lyman muzzy. That sucker has a brass butt and it CUT me all three times I shot it!

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

416 Rem Mag... that was not very fun

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

I've shot a few of the big boomers, but never anything in .416. I've shot the .338 RUM, .375 H&H, .30-378, .378 and the .460 Weatherby magnums.

The .378 without a muzzle break hurts more than the .460 with the break. The recoil of the .378 is so sharp and painful, compared to the recoil of a braked .460.

The .460 without the muzzle break, on the other hand, is truly out of this world. The difference between the .460 with and without the break?





Three steps! [:@]

I was 9 years old and a friend's dad took us out to check a couple waterfowl blinds, and test fire the old goose gun. 12 gauge pump with 3 inch goose loads. I will never forget that day. The gun was longer than me, and my shoulder felt like I had stood behind a cannon.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

these are my turkey guns, the hardest kicking one would have to be the second one from the left,NEF 12 ga. 3" 24"barrel, weighs less than five pounds.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

450 Marlin

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

mines a 300. mag

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

12 gauge with 1 1/4oz goose loads trying to pattern. I've heard some say the .35 Whelen kicks, but I don't know, doesn't bother me at all, like it's not an all day gun (I got the 6.5 Swede for that ;)), but for sighting it in for hunting season, it's fine.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

mine was probably a smith and wesson model 1500 bolt action 30-06. had a steel butt plate and it freakin hurt my arm. ive shot guns that should have kicked much worse like the new englane single shot 12 ga with a 3 1/2 in mag but the 30-06 sure did hurt worse than anything ive ever shot.

RE: Hardest kicking gun youve ever shot
 

a friends double barrel 12 gauge with no butt blate and it is small and light
