Mosin-Nagant?

kicker

I shoot a good bit, and the single Mosin I've shot kicked like a mule.

I suspect that much depends on ammo type. The new 150 gr or so silvertip surplus is likley milder than the heavy ball, yellow tip ammo we were shootng that day.
 
they kick like hell but are good reliable guns, and for around $200 you can get a rifle and about 500 rds to go play with
 
That's interesting,I've shot my Mosins with heavy ball,light ball,and my handloads,to me,they are among the lightest recoiling rifles out of the 17 rifles I own. Try a M95 Steyr carbine in 8X56R,208 grain bullet at 2500,from the 6 3/4lb Steyr,tends to get your attention but still not bad,however,still not as bad as my H&H 700 Nitro Express.
 
I guess I missed something, I don't think they are that big of a kicker.

Kraigwy, compared to the 6 1/2 lb. .22 plastic poodleshooters this newest generation seems to have been raised on, they do have a bit of a kick.....

180 grains @ 2700 out of an 8 1/2 lb bolt rifle used to be the standard...... whatever would these younguns think of magnum chamberings?
