Recoil is not that bad on these. It is shooting about 1250 grains of lead with about 280 grains of powder. My standard 4 bore load is 1700 grains of lead with a 450 grain powder charge. 4 bore has a lot more recoil and it is still entirely manageable. I have never gotten a bruised shoulder from it.
Nothing wrong with getting a 300 Winchester Magnum if you don't hunt. I have a 4 bore and I don't hunt. It uses 450 grains of powder and 4 ounces of lead with each shot. Recoil is about ten times as much as a 300 Winchester Magnum. Probably more. But it is a fun gun to shoot and I like it!
Most likely bad guys are going to run after the first shot. If you are facing 5 bad that are armed and decide to shoot it out, then you are probably dead before you can fire 5 shots.
Used to be that how cool you were depended on how many Tapco products you had stuck on your SKS. A lot of guys were working hard to fit the whole catalog on a gun. No need for Tapco anymore. Now everyone has a AR-15 and there are dozens of companies making silly aftermarket clutter for them. You...
That is laser engraving. It is rather well done, but still obviously a laser. The engraving is only $1000 extra. Hand engraving with that much coverage will cost many times that price.
Flitz and Mothers and such are the preferred products of Bubba the gunsmith. Nothing screams out "I have no idea what I am doing" like Flitz and Mothers. Polishing a gun right requires time, equipment, and skill. Flitz and Mothers is a great way to show the world that you have none of those.
Just got back from the shooting range. Brought a 4 bore rifle. Tried a 500 grain powder charge for the first time. I think I found my limit with that gun.
If I spend thousands of dollars on a fancy gun I am going to get as much use out of it as I can. The idea of getting a nice gun and letting it sit in a safe forever makes no sense to me at all.
Where did this idea come from that working man is all a brunch of losers that can't afford anything? I go to work and even have a job that requires work boots. But I can afford really expensive guns. Quite a lot of the working man guys are bringing in some real money.
I shoot a 4 bore fairly frequently. That thing is getting close to 400 ft/lbs of recoil energy. I spent 30 years building up a tolerance to big rifles before I got a 4 bore. I have never had any ill effects from shooting it. I don't even get a bruised shoulder.But then I have never fired more...
Spend $5000 on a gun and won't shoot it because it might lose some value. Then spend $70,000 on a pickup truck and a few years later it is broken down wreck worth almost nothing. And then complain that you cannot afford a $5000 gun.
$25,000 for a gun that you shoot often and enjoy is money well...
