Worst recoiling gun you've shot.

[Smoothrj]

I had a Remington 700 BDL in 30-06 for over 45 yrs and it kicked the hell out of me..Hated to sight it in every year before deer season..Nice thing was when I would take a deer down, I don't remember the kick..

I had one that had been cut down to a carbine..she was a kicker…son refused to shoot it after a few shots when we were qualifying at CMP

When I bought the HK51 I thought: "Oh how neat! An MP5 sized machinegun in 308. A full auto 308 with an 8" barrel!!! What could possibly go wrong"

Then I shot it. Teeth rattling, in a daze from a concussion and blindness of 10X four foot diameter fireballs blasting off every second. Not to mention controlling the recoil of nearly 30,000ft-lbs of energy every second. Novelty wore off real quick. If you want to bring attention to yourself at the range for good or bad, this would be the gun to do it with. If you want to simultaneously catch the perp on fire as you shoot them, this would be the gun to do it with.

Moss

I'm not recoil sensitive but out of all the guns I've owned or shot, the worst recoiling guns that come to mind. Mossberg 835 with heavy weight turkey loads. I cringe even when shooting at a turkey with this beast. I think I've dislodged some vertabra shooting this gun. Second Remington 600 carbine in 350 rem Mag. From a standing position not too bad. From a bench the recoil shocks my bones like a tuning fork welded by Thor. I think continual firing would cause multiple myeloma. I've got a 458 wm, 416 Rigby and a 375 HH mag that don't hurt as much as these two.
So what gun do you not looking forward to shoot or have decided never again?

Mossberg 835 was mine as well I shot 5 nitro express 3.5" magnums because I wanted the shells to make a hat rack and I think I cracked my shoulder I never went to the doctor about it but it bothered me for nearly a year and I'm not a small whimpy guy.

.444 Marlin with no recoil pad.

 

[BHPSteel]

Probably one of these.

Pulling both triggers on my 12ga coach gun was fun but I won’t do it again

Every .380 pistol I’ve ever fired. I hate em all…especially a Kel-Tec .380

Some type of pump 10 gauge goose gun a young man had at the range about 10 years ago. Ridiculous recoil.

.454 Casull revolver, after running about 20 or so rounds my right wrist was pretty damn sore!
