I fired an 8 bore once before, and I don't recall it being all that bad. IMO my lightweight 45/70 and a couple of 458 Lotts were more painful even if the free recoil energy figures might have been less. The 458 Lott's remained in Africa as gifts to PH's where light weight for carrying and lots of power on hand quickly were at a premium. I was not sad to have them leave my stable.
LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
