I shot a 50 Browning single shot bolt gun five times. Kicked like my .30-06. It had a brake like a tank. Was a regular pussy cat.
I shot a friend's rolling block 45-70 standing and it about screwed me into the ground. Kicked my like a mule.
I have a 9.3X62 that bucks you pretty hard because it's chambered in a tang Safety Ruger 77 that's pretty light.
And, I have a .270 Winchester that isn't supposed to kick but it will hammer you on the bench after about 4-5 rounds. I know, .270s are supposed to be women's guns and aren't supposed to kick. But this thing ain't pleasant, especially after 5 rounds on a bench. But it's such a good killer of game and most of the time it only requires one shot to down game that it's still one of my favorite rifles.
