Worst kicking gun I ever shot is my Ruger MKII 338 win mag, with the paddle stock, Kicks my @SS bad. I am only 5'7 and 160lbs.
most of the stuff in this thread i haven't found all that much to deal with. This being the exception. had a relative want me to sight one in on a bunch with 250grainers. three shots were my limit. i suggested he use it to stir paint in a 50gallon drum.
