Obviously, like many kids, I started with air rifles, 22’s and a 410 shotgun! However, I was 14 when I bought my Win. Model 88 in .308 Win. A pretty light rifle (no scope for many years) plastic butt pad! I never considered the recoil as unpleasant.....just assumed that was part of shooting a centerfire, hunting rifle! I shot 180’s quite a bit, untill the 165’s became popular. Perhaps that rifle is responsible for my “not” being recoil sensitive! memtb
