Have any of you ever had a gun, that hurt you so bad upon firing, that you didn't like to shoot it?
When I was about 14, I bought a Stevens 20-gauge with a cracked stock. I used that gun for squirrel hunting, and it was painful to shoot. I eventually bought a new stock and had it installed by a gunsmith. Within just a few shots, that stock cracked as well.
Since then, I have shot a lot of guns up to and including a .416 Rem Mag, and have never had a problem with recoil (although I generally limit myself to about 10 shots with the .416 RM when shooting from a bench at the range).
What gun do you have or remember that "hurt like h-ll" to shoot?
