Mar 25, 2006 · But last time I checked, the actual recoil of a .308 150 grain and a 12 ga. 2 3/4 dram 1 1/8 oz skeet or trap load in a 7 lb. gun was about the same. (About 17 foot pounds) Yeah, a hi-velocity bullet leaving the barrel at about Mach 3 is going to give some noise (a sonic boom in reality), and it affects pleasurable shooting.

Aug 24, 2003 · Any gun fired from a standing position kicks less than if it was fired from a bench. I kind of doubt a 308 kicks more when shot from the same position as the shotgun. I just bought a Spartan 12 over .308 but I really doubt I will shoot the shotgun barrel from a bench.

Jan 25, 2005 · A 12 gauge slug gun with a 1500fps round in it kicks somewhere between .308 Win & .300 Win Mag. If you're looking for a light recoiling deer killer then look at these: 257 Roberts 257 Weatherby 260 Remington 270 Winchester 280 Remington 7mm-08 The last 3 in that bunch are very capable of shooting elk also.

Jan 31, 2012 · +1 on the M-70. I'd personally get .308. It's more economical for me. If you want a Heavy Barrel, I'd also consider the Remington 700's. They make some great and nice looking guns. Savage makes a great gun for the money, and most are light, but at that configuration, I'd get the Ruger Scout. For a scope, I'd start off with a Nikon or a Leupold.

May 23, 2015 · Well I was lucky and I picked up my gunS today. The shotgun was a model 600 and as Neanderthal said it is a single bar action. It also has the nice scroll work on the bolt. From how little I shot it it was like I remembered. The other gun that I really wanted that also came in today was the Mossberg 800 in .308.

Nov 17, 2014 · A very experienced member of our club just had a shotgun rapidly disassemble. Fortunately nobody was hurt. It was a 20 ga. With standard skeet load I am told.
