Don't even notice recoil with one shot In the field.
This is true but when I can match the performance with a lighter easier to handle gun and save my shoulder on patterning day it's well worth it to me. Not everyone agrees and I understand. I've also learned it don't take a cannon to kill a whitetail, I've killed with everything from 22 to 45 caliber and dead is dead. Hunt with what your confident in and that's half the challenge
