If hunting is out of the question people have no need for things more powerful than an AR or reduced recoil HD/skeet shotgun shells for their sporting uses.

I like my thumpers as much as the next guy, but I can only shoot so much 375 or 445 Supermag before I get tired of it. Noise has a lot to do with it. After a while I get fatigued from the constant pounding in my skull. Hell, I was running a 240 range today, and almost 10k rounds gets to you after a while without even shooting. . 50 days are worse. The 25mm is the same, but much quicker (before I had a remote controlled system)

I agree, bunch of pussies out there. I go about once a year up to colorado (Elk/Bear) and carry my 300 win mag and my new toy a 454 casull revolver. Both kick but two of my favorite firearms.

Rifle recoil doesn't bother me. Pistol recoil does, at a certain point. When I can't make follow up shots and I start flinching, it's not fun anymore.

I grew up shooting 30'06 from about age 9 up. Shooting more than 20 rounds from my light weight 06 prone is no fun. Slugs do not bother me much. My 1895 GS with 425 gr hard cast and hot loads is painful to shoot after about 6 shots.

Meh, I shoot 300 Winmag all the time. It's not bad at all, but it's a custom, heavy. 
I wouldn't want to hump it anywhere though.  Physics, how does it work?

The only recoil that bothers me is a day at the range shooting a couple of boxes of 00 Buck. I've never spent a day behind a .338 or .50, although I've squeezed off a few rounds of each at the range on a few occasions, and it wasn't bad.

I think the idea of $5+ vaporizing with each yank of the trigger stopped me before the recoil did! Cut a 12 ga single barrel down to minimum length and shoot slugs. Cheaper, and you get the same effect. I did that when I was maybe 20 years old. Handy gun, but 4 slugs and the shoulder was purple. Shooting #4 buck patterned fairly well to 30 yards though. Must have been the way the pellets stacked in the Cyl bore. |

Most of my modest collection is .30cal c&r bolt guns, these also make up the bulk of my shooting, along with military style shotguns in 12ga. Folks who whine about recoil are pussies, I also own and shoot a .375H&H. I learned to shoot on old surplus rifles, and im glad I did because all the modern intermediate chambering are a breeze to shoot. Im with the op, most ppl either don't shoot much or have sand in their vaginas.

I was shooting next to an (older than me) guy this spring who was shooting some pretty tame bench rest rifles. He looked at my 300 and told me about his detached retina.. he was done with that sort of thing for life. Sold off all of his kickers. Shame, as he was pretty damn good. |

I got into guns via the surplus world of the early 00's. 8mm, 54R, .30-06, etc.
Shooting AR-15s are sweet compared to those.

I'm 51 and I've been shooting since I was 6. I've fired everything from BB guns to 50 BMG. it has nothing to do with the pussification
of American men. If less recoil gets the job done then why punish yourself? It doesn't make me feel more manly to shoot a squirrel with a 300 win mag than it does a .22. A person's frame size and structure certainly comes into play as well. Put a skinny man prone with an M14 (metal butt stock) and he's not going to last as long as a fat ass internet couch commando. If I needed assistance, I'd rather have the skinny guy with an AR with me that than a fat ass with a large calibre rifle. I have nothing to prove by buying or shooting anything bigger than needed for its intended purpose. A 270 is fine for deer so why a 300 win mag? I'm just happy that people are shooting regardless of their ability to withstand a lot of recoil. The rest is just a lot of macho posturing. |

I'm just happy that people are shooting regardless of their ability to withstand a lot of recoil. The rest is just a lot of macho posturing. I agree to an extent, people should use more than enough gun to get the job done. A .270, .243, etc is a much better caliber than a .223 for northern whitetails.Yeah a .223 will do the job IF you do your part and nothing goes wrong. You still have to do your part with the bigger guns but you get a little more margin of error. That being said, I'm fascinated with the evolution of the turkey guns. People are reloading TSS shot into 20 gauges, the density of the shot makes 8 or 9 shot comparable to 4 or 6 shot in a 12 gauge. They're shooting GOOD turkey patterns out to 60 yards out of a 3" 20 gauge. Much less recoil, a lighter gun to tote around, etc. Winning all the way around. Compare the recoil energy of the 3.5" 12 gauge that I'm using now compared to a big bore rifle and some others: 12 ga., 3.5" Turkey: 77.75 .458 Win Mag: 69.96 7mm Mag: 19.87 .270: 15.99 .223: 3.02 If I can shoot a 20 ga. and get BETTER patterns, BETTER range and a more lightweight firearm to tote around the field, sign me up! |
