RICHARD,
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT RECOIL IN ANY RIFLE OVER 45-70 LEVER ACTION AND 30-06 GARANDS. WITH THAT SAID I WILL LEAVE THE INPUTS TO MUCH BETTER INFORMED BOARD MEMBERS. I WILL ADD ONE BIT OF ADVICE....STOP USING 3 INCH SHELLS....THEY KICK LIKE MULES IN A GUN LIKE YOURS. FOR SERIOUS HIBASE NEEDS GO TO 2 3/4 INCH NITRO EXPRESS AMMUNITION. IT WILL KILL ANYTHING YOU GO AFTER....PHEASANTS, DUCKS, GEESE, ETC. TODAY MANY SHOOTERS HAVE THE MAGNUM MENTALITY. FOR MOST FIELD SHOOTING 3 1/4 DRAM #6 SHOT OR #5 SHOT WILL DO VERY NICELY.
