The one I remember the most was an old mod 70 winchester 30-06, steel butt plate. My buddy bought it because it was cheap. We were kids and all excited to shoot a big gun. I had shot a 243 a couple of times before. We both looked at each other with big eyes and said damn that just plain hurts. We did not know much about holding a gun or shooting but we were game to learn. We did not shoot his gun much. We did learn how to hold em.
