I've only owned 2 long guns I got rid of due to recoil....
The first was a 1970 semi automatic 12 ga Ithaca model 300 featherweight.....a recoil operated semi that kept my shoulder black n blue.....have owned gas operated semis ever since.
The second was an early 90s Remington 700 ADL 3006 that treated me the same way. No way I could ever determine how accurate it may have been as I dreaded bench shooting with it.
