Rating Felt Rifle Recoil...

[M.T. Pockets]

I know this is a rifle topic but here's a comparison from a day at the range last year.

My buddy brought a slick little .45-70 out and I got to fire it. It got your attention, but was quite managable.

Then he brought out his 12 guage and wanted to sight in with 3 inch slugs. It didn't recoil, it KICKED. Much harder than any rifle I've ever fired. No comparison to a .300 Win. Mag.
