Well, at the risk of sounding like a blithering female reproductive organ, I once had a 700 remington BDL chambered for .270 WCF that would kick all the fillings out of my teeth, everytime I touched it off. I put 20 rounds through that hateful wretch one afternoon, shortly after I got it, and immediately before I got rid of it.
I had a similar experience with a 700 ADL, iron sights, and some 160 grain corelokt loads.
BMT
Same here - my brothers ADL 30-06 bought in the late 60's.
No recoil pad. That thing was a holy terror! I talked a school pal of mine into shooting it and he still cusses me out about it !
Then there's my brother in laws .300 Whinney. Another pal and I took it to the range to sight it in for him. We each fired maybe 3 shots apiece, before we loaded the damned thing in the truck and took it back to him, telling him to sight the miserable SOB in himself. It wears an awkward ( to me ) California style stock and a skinny little brick hard rifle pad.
