Buy an Enfield jungle carbine next - that thing is grotesque !!

Never shot .303 British. Sounds like some good collar bone bruisin' fun.

.303 is easy and not bad at all...
If you want to bust your shoulder up shoot some 7.62x54R.. That will get your attention...

I still don't get how you guys think those rifles kick so bad, I just finished firing off 150 .303's and 100 7.62's less than an hour ago.
That 50 looks like it rocks pretty good so I can't say anything about that. If you want recoil though, try yourself a .460 weatherby. .458 Win is pretty damn good too.

In a Jungle Carbine?
It's NOT the .303 British round itself that's brutal, it is the .303 round IN the Enfield 5 Jungle Carbine.
The Jungle Carbine is significantly shorter and MUCH lighter than a regular SMLE Enfield 3 or 4, AND it has e rock-hard "rubber" butt-pad, that is much narrower than the regular bullstock, which concntrates the force of the impact in a smaller area.
Personally, I can shoot .308 all day long in an HK 91 or FAL, and I can shoot shotgun or regular Enfields in .303 all day long - but after 20-30 rounds of the Enfield jungle carbine, I am done playing with it.
