My '94 in .44 Magnum was probably the most hard-kicking gun I owned,
more so even than my .375 H&H Mag., or my little .308 carbine. The thing
either put big bruises on my shoulder or managed to relocate my thumb well up
my nose...
Now it's quite tame, though - the problem was that the stock was
several inches too short for me. Addition of a large extender/recoil pad
has reduced the need for blood transfusions when I fire it.
The stock sights were also miserable, so I replaced them with a Lyman
peep sight, which works quite well. Before this, the gun was off the paper
at 25 yards.
Quality control...
