I have one and sometime during the second box of 50 it was really starting to sting.....lot more than I thought it would. Very lightweight gun, that has lots to do with it.

Weatherby .300 Magnum. 180gr Spire Points. 42 pounds of recoil will leave a mark after 50 rounds.

I have a Mark V Deluxe in .257 Magnum. Don't want to fire that thing too many times...

REM 700 classic in 375 H&H mag. 5 rounds will leave a mark and a headache.

 

[NY Transplant]

Ruger Red Label 12 Gauge doing 5 rounds of trap in succession. Still recovering as of almost 2 weeks ago. Just put a Limbsaver pad on it and waiting for the shoulder to recover before I try again.

 

[Maverick0313]

Dragunov, AGC March last year. Still sore......:-)

 

[Armadillofz1]

My 8mm mausers usually work me over pretty well

 

[Wolfmetalfab]

338 win mag on a lightweight browning a-bolt stalker model (synthetic stock)
458 win mag and 375 h&h are worse as well, I wont shoot any of these 3 off a bench, sitting or off hand only

I'm going to have to add any old military rifle without a recoil pad. For whatever reason, a steel plate slides around on my shoulder while firing. 60 rounds of .303, followed by 30 rounds of 30-06, then 5 rounds of 7.62x54R will leave a mark. My Remington 700 in .300 WinMag has a 1.5" thick recoil pad. That and the muzzle brake makes for a nice shooting rifle.

YESTERDAY! My new Ruger Gunsite. First time for me shooting it. Shot about 15 rounds and have the waffle marks from the buttpad to show for it. Yowza.

 

[MAKINTRAX]

Back in the '80s when we were still using lead shot for geese, I traded shotguns with my son for a couple of hours. I gave him my Browning Auto 5 and used his Remington 870 express with 3" 1 7/8 oz magnum loads. I think there's still a mark on my shoulder.

 

[woodstock]

yep, in fact it was YOUR mosin that bruised me. thanks for the eye opener.

Mosin M44 with Yugo heavy ball ammo...

 

[Ruger556]

Shooting a ton of 12 ga 00Buck out of a Rem 870......smarts!

Be honest, people!

I've suffered visible bruises from my Mosin and my M590 when loaded with high velocity 3" slugs. Shooting magnum slugs 8 at a time is a bad idea.
