I just got back from the range shooting a 30/06 FW with one of those hard butt plates. I was wearing a wool cruiser jacket and I'm not crippled.Or even in any pain
Not my idea of the kind of rifle I'd want to run 50-100 rounds through in an afternoon. Better stuff for that.
But to be honest I was more bothered by the guy at the next bench shooting a 22-250 with a muzzle brake on an AR platform......that damned brake was loud and annoying. I never noticed the recoil of the 30/06.
